Burned Out Dash Light

I have a 1996 Ford XLT 4X4 ex. cab 5.0. It seems my dash light just above the speed odometer has just burned out. Is this light hard to replace? Do I have to take the dash apart, or can you reach the bulb from under the dash?

Thanks in advance for any help or info.

You will have to pull the instrument cluster out. When I did this I replaced all of the bulbs back there including idiot lights etc. I didn't want to have to pull it again.

Takes about 5 minutes to take out. The part of this tech article says how to take out the cluster:
