Bulb pulls right out in back of the gauge. Bulb may not be burned out , maybe just pulled out of the socket. I have a photo of the back of the gauge if you like. Send me a message with your email address. Gauge is all plastic. It's a tight area for big hands. Those 2 big red wires on the back of the gauge are always "hot" so I suggest you disconnect the battery when you work around the AMP meter. Their just like a battery cables. Regarding the dimmer switch, what car # do you have? There were 3 styles of dimmer boards. Many people eliminate the dimmer because 100% "ON" is still not bright enough with Smith's gauges...a very old design.
