Default Need advice asap!! Please

I know everyone has been dicussing the whole guage cluster "recall"
My local dealership said they wouldnt touch my truck with the aftermarket computer in it to fix my guage cluster, so I decided to do it myself. I put the new stepper motor in, no problem....kinda. I managed to snap off the one speedo Bulb in the process. So now only 1/2 my speedo lights up. (on a side note my volt guage doesnt light up either).

So I have 2 questions.....
Where the hell can I get a replacement bulb? and
If the dealer was to do the replacement........would them reprogramming my speedo effect my tune at all?

no it wouldnt, all we program is the cluster. Not the PCM. The dealer should do your recall no matter if you have a tune, that has 0 to do with your cluster.

how did they know your pcm was tuned? I hope you didn't tell them. When you say "reprogram" the speedo. What exactly are you talking about?

If they're just replacing the stepper motor, why would they touch the pcm?
