I have a link but it is a ton o work. I got my cluster from a guy on e bay. He will even give you a "trade in" on your old one or rebuild yours. it is very easy to change about a 30 min job

Hint:
A good cluster is one of the many things you look for prior to purchasing an early C4

Just wanted to make sure the cluster is actually bad.

There are some little halogen light bulbs that burn out and it makes the cluster very hard to see. If it is just the bulbs, it is pretty easy and cheap to fix.

Here's the direct link for replacing the digital cluster

This site has been very helpful to me and my '87
