hi steve!
i have replaced many of those light bulbs.
first off; go down to the dealer and get two of the light bulbs. they are SPECIAL DEALER ONLY halogen light bulbs. they go out in two and are replaced in two.
remove the outer dash panel by unscrewing the Phillips screws. Then tilt panel forward and out. Next you can remove the four bolts for the instrument cluster. you do not have to disconnect any wires.
Tilt the top of the cluster forward and you should see both light bulbs in the sockets on top of cluster. twist and remove and dispose of old bulbs. install new ones and put dash back together.
DO NOT TOUCH THE GLASS OF LIGHT BULBS WITH FINGERS!!!
you will leave grease residue which causes the bulbs to fail soon!
i hope this helps. Good Luck!

Get a Haynes Repair Manual at the local Auto Zone or auto parts store in your area. It will troubleshoot and show you how to fix your vehicle. Also on the Auto Zone site has a section for vehicle maintenance.

It might be anything from a broke cable to buying the digital speedometer. Have fun.
