I assume you mean lights.

With the cluster removed (see the link below), the socket twists out and the bulb simply pulls out. Note the sockets, green and black, in the pic in post #1 of the following link. If your trip odometer doesn't function, now's the time to repair:

How many bulbs do you need (there are 194's and 164's, IIRC)?

You might search LED's.

Brighten the cluster?

If your speedo head is noisy, wavers, or jumps, the fix is below;
