    They are 194 bulbs, you have to remove the gauge pod from the dash, two screws under the top....pull the top forward and up....then out. Pull more towards you on the left side and put your hand back behind the pod and push on the little tabs on the wiring harness and pull it out, then push on the plastic tab on the speedo cable and pull it out, it will be a tight squeeze. Once you have that loose you can work the pod out and around the left side of the steering column, All the bulbs are in those little black holders, twist them a 1/2 turn counter clockwise and pull them out. Replace the bulbs and put them back in and reverse the order to install the pod back into the dash.If your hand is small enough you can change them without pulling the pod all the way out. I think there is 8 of them.
