If you're referring to the lights in the dash, I changed those by pulling the dash, disassembling the dash, swapped out the 3 bulbs (# 73s I think) and put it all back together.

I honestly can't remember if you can change those 3 bulbs just by pulling the bezel, but you can easily take apart the instrument cluster and swap them out.

I would go ahead and just change out all of the light bulbs while you're at it. The 3 # 73s are pretty cheap, the 4 # 882s are about $7 each.

Just make sure you don't touch the bulb with your finger tips else the bulbs will surely die faster.

The bezel does have to come off..Then there are 2 black "push pins" holding the the lens over the bulbs, pull them out and remove the lens. The bulbs will probably have to be removed with needle nose pliers. Be careful though, they crunch real easy... Don't ask.
