Do you have the instructions to open the cluster and locating the bulb? Thanks

just twist knob and put in new bulb (led is best way to go)

As well currently i have dim back lights, but once I'm on the road for 25+ minutes they turn bright? What might be the case?

Possibly a bad dimmer switch. Pry the switch out of the dash, unplug the connector, and jump the red wire to the black wire in the connector. Do the lights now illuminate at full intensity? If so, replace the dimmer switch.

Thanks, do you know how many bulbs i'm going to need for this project?
