Need your help (1974 Dodge truck content)

Ok so I have this sweet 1974 Dodge D200 3/4ton
Earlier in the year I noticed night driving was a bit of a stab in the dark.
My gauge lights were dim and nothing seemed to be visible at night.
So last night I went through the dash fixed and repaired everything needing help.
Lights up like a Christmas tree now... love it
I swapped in a early 90's minivan radio, old enough to look the part but new enough to work for me with a clock.. I feel like royalty....hahaha
Everything in the cab works and lights up as if it were new... stoked on such a good ending to a needed project....

ok enough with the self patting of the back. lol

Now for the needed help...
I noticed earlier in the year that my gear indicator light on the Column stopped working.
Well I was hoping I could find a something on the interweb showing me how to replace the bulb but for the life of me I can't find any info, My book doesn't even mention it... I can't even find the bulb in the elc. schematic

Any and all info will be greatly appreciated...
thank you...

If I remember correctly, you have to pull the steering wheel and some parts inside the housing, but there is definitely a replaceable bulb.

easy fix.

Remove steering wheel, then remove the column bezel and the bulb inside the column,. you will need a steering wheel puller.

Well you guys are all fired, no help at all.... lol
So proceeded to take my steering column apart just to find out the damn little bulb was held in by two screws from behind the gear indicator... ugh
