There is 5 or 6 bulbs for the clusters lights(speedo and tach) and 11 or 12 for the indicator lights(brake,4x4 etc)

The cluster lights are the 194s I think, they look like little peanuts. I replaced mine with blue ones they look kinda cool, you can get blue, red green etc.
When this thing hits 88 MPH your gonna see some serious sh!t (hahaha)

Its been a few years, so I dont remember the type of bulb (just went over to ScarboroSubaruSuzuki and asked for the right ones) but I must agree CHANGE THEM ALL AT ONCE!  I replaced a blown bulb on the speedo cluster of my old '92 sidekick, and at night you could see this huge difference between the old and new bulbs brightness.  

From what I remember the only tricky part is taking apart the cowl and dash.  But even I managed to do it.

Just wire up a new fixture on the outside of your dash. Thats much easier ;D

Four screws to remove the cowl and then four more to remove the speedo, tilt it forward and replace bulbs, you shouldn't need to remove any of the dash  ???
