Default Check Engine Light (CEL) Bulb?

I've looked but no luck...Are there any write-ups on how to replace the bulb?

The bulbs can be replaced by removing the instrument cluster. I might have a few extra bulbs laying around if you need one. I removed all the non pertinent bulbs from my race car cluster

Thanks Dell

I found a thread where someone replaced the bulb in 5 min. so I think there is a way without removing the cluster?

I can 't imagine how you can get to the back side of the cluster without removing it. It's really not that hard to remove though if you decide to do it.
