What is the easiest way to replace instrument lights in 1968 F 100?
Do I take out the panel or go from under dash?
Thanks

Easiest in my opinion is take the panel out. Then you can actually SEE what you're doing.

agreed with take out the panel.... remove the speedo cable in most cases and then take the screws out and carfully put it forword enough to reach the lights if its a 68 this pic may help

I agree with them. Get that panel out and change them. It's too tight under the dash to reach them without scratches, fussing, and possibly something knocked loose in the wiring.
