Chuck,

Welcome to the list, and PUT DOWN THE SCREWDRIVER!

To get to the bulbs, reach forward and grasp the front of the instrument
cluster cover (Front is the part closest to the windshield). Give it a tug,
and the entire cover pops off.

The light bulbs will be right on top, and are removed by twisting them about
90 degrees and lifting.

Take care,
TomC
