how change gauges lights
 
I'm new doing this and I need some help to change the gauges lights
in special the speedometer because when I turn on the driving lights it turns on ok but when I turn on the headlights one of the 2 lights turns off

humm something going on there. The lamps are on the back of the gage, pull the gage out from the rubber gasket holding them in. you will see the small sockets that hold the little lamps. Search for LED lamps and you might like that change

It sounds like one of the lights in your speedo has been replaced by the indicator light for the parking lights. If so, it will turn on when the parking lights/dash lights are on but will go out when the light switch is pulled all the way out for the head lights. Take a close look at your gauges. Turn on the parking lights and see if the green light comes on (I forgot which gauge holds the parking light--speedo or tach) and also if it goes off when you pull the switch all the way out. If it never comes on or if it fails to go out, then the light has likely been switched with the one in your speedo. Pull the gauge and switch them out.

To get the lights out you want to pry up on the metal lip not the plastic.

Yeah, it looks like someone before you had mixed up the lights. Remove gauge and check the bulbs are in the correct inserts.

PMed you.
