Are all lights out? ( would be a connection problem)

If many are out, you can remove plastic frame around cluster, remove screws holding gauge cluster, lower steering wheel, and pull out .
The gauge cluster is only plugged in at rear, just pull out. ( you will see after removing )

Put cluster , face down & start removing screws, each board- layer at a time.

Look for a couple little harness connections between boards.

Eventually you will have all bulbs exposed.

( I did it & it wasn't tough to do )

Bulbs are at auto part stores... maybe have to go to a couple stores to get all the bulbs. ( they only stock a few per store)

Re: gauge cluster problem

If all the lights are out, it sounds like a connection problem. Also check the Instrument Panel Dimmer Switch, I had to replace mine.
