Silly question, have you scope out your fuses?
2 bulbs you can buy them on superbrightleds.com. you can also rip out the green film to make the bulbs shine the color they are supposed to if you do a color change. Simple swap and remember LEDs have a positive and negative. If they don't light up the first time turn the bulb to the other pin position. To get the cluster off remove headlight switch, the two dead panels or heated seat switch which ever you have then pull out the speedo bezel and undo 2 bolts and reach behind it and unclip 2 harnesses in the back

thanks for the info but one more question for ya is there a total of 4 lights in the cluster cause like i said the tripometer and the clock are illuminated. I would love to change the color to orange.

There are 4 LEDs yes. 2 on top and 1 behind each LCD. However there is a film over the LCD that also needs to be changed in order for the LCD to be Orange. My suggestion is changing the Film to orange and using a white LED so its not overly orange
