The backlight for the odometer display is easy to replace. Just disconnect the battery and remove two screws from the instrument cluster bezel. Position the shift lever and steering wheel tilt so that you can pull it off. That will expose 4 additional screws that hold in the instrument cluster. Remove those and pull the cluster out far enough to disconnect 3 connectors on back. Once you have the cluster out, the bulb behind the odometer display will twist out. The bulb is available at most auto parts stores for a couple of bucks.

Can't help you with your DRL problem.
