Dash illuminating back light

[OGBillyT63]

My dash illuminated backlight has gone out.  I’ve seen some discussion on this issue but I’m seeking more information.  This seems like a daunting task just to even get to the inside of the dash where it’s located.  Does anyone have a detailed description of how they have removed the dash housing and then fixed this issue?

Hello,
www.cyclepedia.com has a service manual for this scooter, $27.00
Can't swear to it - but likely has pix of how to get into that area.
If nothing else - good book for other serv work on your scooter?

This might be the same speedo as yours, taken from a parts image....there's your bulbs.

Thanks for the information Stig.   I’ve looked at that and some YouTube videos and it appears that the dash illumination strip is powered by an inverter located on the circuit board on the back of the dash itself. Supposedly this is a common issue with the GVs.  The video shows the fix after you get to that circuit panel but doesn’t show the steps to get to that stage.  I’m just looking to see if anyone has actually had some experience doing the whole process. 
Thanks for input.
