Welcome to the forum 
There are quite a few posts in here about replacing the bulbs. If you do a search you should find them.
Basically you remove the trim around the intrument cluster and then the cluster itself to access the bulbs. They are normal #194 bulbs like the licence plate lights use. If you have an automatic make sure you remove the cable to the shift indicator or it will probably break.

RacerGuy - "If you have an automatic make sure you remove the cable to the shift indicator or it will probably break."
Thank you so much for mentioning that... I am going to have to do this pain in the neck project soon because my whole right side of the cluster is out, I can't see my Tach. at night, even though it is auto and I don't REALLY need to see it, but I just dont like having bulbs out...
One thing to add to this - Does anyone know if there are LED's available with the same slot style install... as we all probably know, LED's last almost forever, are brighter, and give off no heat... So yeah... Any ideas on that? Thanks all
