Greetings,  it's very possible the bulbs are working,  just over the years, and driving conditions, the bulbs just may need to be cleaned off. Dust makes a huge difference in illumination. Just a thought.

Because the dash was designed by Satan himself? One of the worst jobs on these cars.

GREAT care is needed in taking the center bezel out, that goes without saying.  Dropping the steering column down makes getting at the instrument cluster a bit easier.
