Lay on the seat with your head on the hump. Slide in so that your head 
is resting uncomfortably on the pedals. Small 2 AA cell Magligt helps 
here. Stare at the backside of the dusty gauce cluster PC board and 
figure out which ones are NOT dash illumination. (eg. GEN and OIL.) Then 
use the arm you have with three elbows and take each one out and replace 
them.

You do have three elbows, right?

I'm serious about the proceedure otherwise.

Another way to this is to get your head under there with a ligt and 
simply stare at everything, then slouched onto the hump, rech your arm 
under and swap bulbs by feel. THats what I do most of the time. (THe 
ones to the far side fo the connector are turn signal and upper left 
llunination, etc.)

I strongly suggest changing every single bulb -- the funcioning ones are 
certainly old and metallized inside (the filaments evaporate and grey 
the glass, and just how many times do you want to do this job??!!
