    I forget if that dash has bulbs in a circuit board or LEDS in the needle either way the instrument cluster has to be removed to replace the bulbs. Most likely the steering wheel has to be removed and the air bag system disabled to prevent it from deploying. There is a company that independent auto repair shops get their information from, this same information is available inexpensively for people that work on their own cars.. The information is year make and model specific, covering repair procedures, torque specifications, fluid capacities and specifications, service bulletins, component locations, wiring diagrams ect.... Alldata is very easy to navigate http://bit.ly/AllData_Repair_Manuals_Online
