Gauge cluster illumination

I have a 94 F350. The gauge cluster has recently gone dark in certain spots. Does this model have bulbs you replace, or does the whole cluster have to be changed?

Fantastic. Thank you. I have 545,262 miles on this truck so I would hate having to change the cluster.

Even if you had to change the cluster the old speedometer can be installed in the new one.

That's impressive. What engine/trans and what is the truck's "job" or normal use?

7.3 "F Code" Engine with a ZF Manual Transmission. Has been a fantastic truck. I tow Campers from the factories on the Indiana/Michigan line to dealerships all over the country. I am currently on a 4400 mile round trip to deliver a 14,000 lb 5th wheel on the Coast in California
