Mark,

you must remove the instrument cluster. there are about 6 nuts under the 
dash that must be removed (they have huge washers around them except the two 
right under the column). then you have to disconnect two wiring harnesses to 
the back of the cluster as well as the speedometer cable. the cluster will 
then easily come out and finding the right bulb should be pretty 
straight-forward. 

when replacing the cluster, make sure all the little copper tabs for the 
wiring harnesses are straight and not touching when you reassemble. if they 
get bent or touch each other that will cause problems. 

the bulb might not actually be burnt out. the cluster is kinda junky and the 
socket for the bulb could just be loose. you'll have to play around to 
figure it out.
