I think a guy with some padded forceps or a piece of the right size tubing can change the main ones from the front, by just removing the dash trim. If I remember right I got the bulbs at NAPA. I think I upgraded to Zenon or something, but they had several kinds there.

For anything else you need, (up to and including a complete cluster rebuild) try this guy:

You can trust him. I've been running his power supply in mine for a few years now.

The front bezel comes off and the bulbs can be removed from the front side. Make sure your replacement bulbs are the same length as the originals as longer bulbs won't fit.
