hey mate, i was also keen to do this to my KJ verada, (i assume u mean behind the speedo/tacho/etc) so i took out my dash loom and pulled it apart. I found that the bulbs are not easily accessible like there are in nissans and other makes, infact i couldnt even find the bulbs without further pulling apart the whole thing. i decided it wasnt worth it as the flat cables back there are fagile and one small tear can mess everything up. pulling it apart is not hard though. Let me no if u have a go and have anyluck! :)

If you are talking about the instrument cluster than if its like a TE Magna then its simple. Lower the steering wheel, take of the cluster shroud (2 screws at the top), pull that out and disconnect the dimmer control switch, undo the 4 gold screws around the cluster, pull it out, disconnect the loom and then twist the desired bulbs out and replace.
