Default dash questions

Tryin to make my virgin 88 GT T-Top all functional, last thing to work on is the dash and I have some questions...
1. The lights that lite up the dash are half out, can they be replaced, if so, how? 2. The oil pressure gauge does not fully work, if you ground out the sender wire it only spikes 3/4 of the way up ( in other words can I recalibrate this needle) 3. The fuel gauge is spotty at best, will work correctly one time then peg out another then not read at all another, any help on this one? Last my speedo makes a clicking noise and starts to jump around 40 MPH, could this just need lubricated or could it be something else? Really last, can I purchase these gauges separate and replace them or does the whole cluster get replaced at one time?
Thanx a million!!

To replace lights take out the guage cluster and open it. Youll see light bulbs inside, replace.



Depending on budget and what you are doing, Id go with aftermarket guages that fit into stock dash.
