how do i get my gages to light back up?

I have a 96 eclipse. and the light behind the gages went out last night. I have already checked the fuse and its good. where do i go from there? where is the light bulb located and how do i get to it. and for all of you wise guys you can say buy a different car or whatever.....if it makes you feel better!

Update:

Update 2:

    The lights are behind the instrument panel. You are going to have to remove part of your dash to get to it.Get a Chilton or Haynes book from pep boys or auto zone. This will help.(thumb through the book first to double check its in there)

    Pop the dash bezel around the gauges, take the screws out of the cluster. Change the buld.

    before i would go through removing the dash,i would try wiggling the switch that dims the dash.sometimes it will get a dead spot in it.if that does'nt help,then bite the bullet and tear down the dash.
