I have a '96 A4 and over the last year the dash board lights are gradually disappearing. I only have half of my speedometer lighting now. Anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this ??

 

You mean your cluster, its most prob on its way
out so you should be getting ready to get another one
Its common on this cars

 

how much and is it
a big job ?

 

On your car, you can actually replace the small "peanut" bulbs seperately. We usually charge less than $150 P+L to do them all for you, takes less than 1.5h total turn aound.

Thanks for that Steve,
Do you have to go to a Audi dealer for these bulbs and is it a DIY job

 

HOLY **** 150$.. OMG dont take it to a dealer.. its the easiest thing you can do. And it sure doesnt 1.5 hours, unless your spending an hour washing his car and cleaning the interior.. If I went to a dealer and they told me that I would reach across the counter and B*tch slap em.

 

pop off the steering column trim, then remove the screws at the bottom of the gauge cluster just above the steering column...wiggle out the gauge cluster a little, remove the 5 plugs from the back of the cluster, and pull then pull the cluster all the way off...the bulbs are only available from an audi dealer.
