in this video I show you how to replace the lights in the gauge cluster, which includes removing the cluster, as well as the tail/brake lights, reverse lights and front turn and marker lights in a square body chevy.

I know there are some folks saying you're taking to long or talking too much. I'm a beginner and appreciate how thorough this is.

You can push slack cable in through the fire wall, and create a gap to get your hand into to release it.

I found it easier to undo the cable under the hood and push it in through the firewall into cab, it will literally push the cluster out.

So the thing I was wondering about is a fiber optic cable. Not a ground. That is what I needed to know. I really needed to know if it was a ground before putting my cluster back in. Thank you for taking the time to explain as much as you did. There was one 2 wire light that is a 4wd light, not a check engine light like you said. Just saying. Thanks again! Boy I would really like a video going over all the vacuum lines and wires in the dash... following where they go. That would be amazing.

I removed mine completely, there is lots that can be done, once you have come this far. I removed all the gauges from that 'green' body, and painted the inside bright gloss white.. much more reflective, also I painted bright glossy white on the back side of the black metal gauge bezel. The light really brightens. Also, I cleaned and used conductive grease on all connectors, plugs and sockets. Take a good look at your plastic flexible circuit board.. those are cheap to replace is yours is going bad.. $50-70. Not bad if you are having failures. Conductive grease is the hot tip though, use it on everything. I just replaced a rear tail light bulb, it was corroded into the socket. I cleaned the socket, and put conductive grease on the new bulb, that will never happen again.

We used to just do a light coat of spray paint on bulbs back in the 90s change interior bulb color....red blue whatever lol... Stab em into a csrdboard egg crate and mist em one color and put em back in behind dash. Painting the brighter Led blue(high beam) and hazard/turns a color to dark em down a bit and preserve the color. Leds dont run as hot so burning off paint is less of prob also

Wonder if it would be easier to undo the speedo cable from the transmission and then pull the cluster out?

Really late to the party but his comment at 9:20 about needing an LED flasher isnt true, at least not for me. I just swapped the front side marker lights for LEDs on my truck and they work fine with the OEM flasher

Hi, I own a 1988 chevy V20 Silverado Suburban 3/4 Ton. I had to replace the instrument cluster. I removed the old cluster. I broke the left tab, lol good thing I have a replacement cluster. I bought on Ebay. I also broke the white light socket that has the fiber-optic wire on it. Do you know where I can get a replacement. Or I might just put regular socket and install my own light in ashtray with limit switch that will turn of replacement light when I close ashtray. I am so glad I watched this video. I did not know what that wire was. I thought it might be a ground. I cant find it in any of the manuals I have. Ok, so much for now. Very informative video. I also have to replace all the outer light assy. The tail light assy are very rare. I have not been able to find them. Do you know of a good website to buy these part?

Sorry for the delay in replying. I really like the Sirius LED bulbs. They fit perfectly and are bright. They are more expensive, but I have had problems with the cheap ones like from JDM, dieing pretty quick. Look these up on Amazon. New-SiriusLED-T10LED

It's funny how the 89' interior doesn't look much different than the 91'
