First, SEARCH...
There already is a how-to on this.
Alright. So pop off the contour thingy on the dash, behind it will be 2 screws, take them out. There is also one behind the defroster button, and there are 2 right above the guages. Pull the trim piece off and you will see 5 screws, undo them and Voila!
Also, did you check to make sure your dimmer isnt on REALLY LOW.

Gauge Cluster, no lights? Fuse fine?
I wonder if it is the headlamp switch. Turn on the lights, go to the back of the car. Are the rearlights on (not license tag lights)? Yes, then check the dimmer as suggested. No, check if covered by Headlamp switch recall.
If not covered,
Prices and part numbers are below. Get from Bill Jenkins at www.teamfordparts.com
Headlamp Switch Recall 99S14
Wiring Kit F5RZ14A411BA $7.37
Headlamp Switch F5RZ11654J $59.45
