Interior lights
#3
Like rangertoy said, you will have to pull the cluster out to replace the lights.
You will need to remove the panels under the steering column to access the lower screws on the clusters bevel, there are also screws on top of the bezel near the windshield you will need to get at with a short screwdriver. You might have to pull the headlight and hazard light switches to unplug the wiring so you will be able to pull the bezel off. Once the bezel is removed you will have access to the cluster, it has been a while, but I think you might need some star bits for the screws that hold the cluster in place. Once you can pull the cluster forward you will need to disconnect the speedometer cable from the back of the cluster. Once you have the cluster removed the lights are simply screwed into the back. Take notes of which lights are burned out before you pull it all apart, some are obviously burned out, but others might be difficult to tell.
It is not too difficult to do, just time consuming. I think I might have some pictures from when I replaced my lights, I can post them if it would be of some help.
