Hi,

This guide by Nicely should help you determine what bulbs you need and the part numbers....

There should be backlight, yes. Its very small bulb which is probably blown just like mine did. Its very easy to remove... A-pillar plastic pops off by pulling, few screws and thats it.
Please correct me if a-pillar plastic needs some screws removed before pulling I can't remember all

Awsome, i was sure it was suppose to light up. Time to take her apart and see what bulbs i need.

No screws for the a-piller, just clips. Only 1 screw to remove the gauge holder i believe. Theres also a guide on replacing the boost gauge which will help you...

I know they are little toshiba ones, let me go and pull one out and see if it has a model number.

All it says on them is:

Toshiba
V-2
