short answer..... Not really!! you have to take out the dash and clocks hardest part is detaching mfa vacuum pipe and speedo cable, once it's out it's just a twist lock bulb to replace!, good luck.

Probably got lost in the "Great Crash of 08

That was easy enough, only took 45 mins. Lets see what happens when it gets dark!!

You mean you put it all back together without testing it?  Asking for trouble there :grin:
