Are you referring to the lights in your dash cluster? They aren't too bad to replace, there's probably a dozen or so of them.

Disconnect batteries
Remove trim pieces on dash cover and screws
Remove headlight switch ****
Remove dash cover
Remove gauge cluster by removing 8? screws
Replace bulbs

This is mostly it, but i'm probably forgetting something.

Your owners manual should list what they are.

I believe they are GE 194. I would look online or try walmart. they will probably be cheaper than the auto parts store.

The numbers should be on the bulbs. If I wasn't so lazy, I would go downstairs and double check. Be aware of flipping the cluster over on it's face. There is a sticker on the cluster not to do so. There are 3 plugs you will have to disconnect to remove the cluster out of the dash.
