So I have no dash lights, can't see a thing at night. Opened up the dash and found there were several bulbs missing. Should they be missing? Why other then a burnt bulb wouldn't I have light? Last where do I find these bulbs?

Some bulbs won't be there if you don't have that feature e.g. ABS brakes etc. The service indicator lights may also be missing. But if you cannot see, anything, you need to replace the backlights which are the ones that shine into the orange perspex part of the dash panel - remove the dozen or so phillips screws that holds the two halves of the panel together to access the inside bulbs - (you want to remove the screws with stars next to themthat sit on little raised circular bits of the panel molding.)

Thanx. I just finished earlier, I do have another question though. If I wanted to remove or at least bring in my front and back bumbers so they would'nt stick out so much , what would you suggest I do?
