I asked the question, now I’ll it (thanks to Tom at Jordan Ford for his help): Disconnect the battery to prevent the airbag from possibly activating. Remove two screws from top of instrument panel cover, then pull it straight toward you and remove it. Then remove four screws that hold the instrument cluster in place. Pull the loose cluster rearward enough to access and unplug three wire harness connectors. Remove the instrument cluster. Lamp sockets can be removed by turning counterclockwise about 90 degrees. Light bulbs can be pulled straight out of the socket and replaced. They are an Auto Parts Store item.
