Here is a picture of the back of the cluster to show you what the light sockets look like. Note the light green and darker looking round items in the picture. As mentioned in 1987GTAowner's post, they are easy to change out. A 1/4 turn and the socket comes out. Please note that on some models, particularly the newer models, the bulbs are a part of the socket and can only be changed as a whole unit.
