Default Shift indicator lights

My shift and 4x4 column lights are out. Is this a bulb or blown fuse ?

You are the only one that will know! You need to check them.

If they all went out at once then it's probably a blown fuse. I think it's a little 5amp that those run through.

If by 4x4 lights you mean the trans case shifter lights then it is most likely just the bulbs. If the fuse would have blown, you would have lost your dash cluster as well. There's one bulb for the shifter and one for the t-case. Pretty easy to get to, just pop the bezels off and you'll see them. I suggest unhooking the battery before you change the bulbs because I know quite a few people have blown the fuse since it's such a low amperage. Also, switch to LED's. Less draw, brighter and last longer. T-10s work great. You can get them on ebay for cheap and get them in any color.
