i think those light bulbs are 1/4 turn push in type, turn 1/4 and pull out, you will be able to get them in the autoparts, just take a sample with you (some of them come with a color plastic cover wich you can "re-use" with a regular clear type).

Suggested Repair

The instrument cluster bulbs are typically 1/4-turn push-in type. Turn each bulb a quarter turn and pull it out. Take a sample to an auto parts store to match the replacement. If a bulb has a colored plastic cover, reuse that cover with a clear replacement bulb.
