Are you sure you want to fool around with all this instead of replacing the bulbs?
Check for blown fuse first.
Remove neg battery cable.
Remove trim.
Remove screws holding cluster.
Un plug cables if needed.
Replace bulbs from the rear.
Reassemble and temp test before complete re-assembly.
It's less of a job than trying to make some other arrangement work.
If you need more info, get a Haynes book, check out page 12-8 section #13 and fig. 13.3.
Otherwise get some small LED stick-on lights with leads and connect in to the dash lamp fuse with an add-a tap.

Do the lights for the radio work? Has anything been done to the instrument cluster recently?
