Not sure, but if the dash setup is like all others I have dealt with you should be able to locate the socket from underneath and remove the socket with the bulb, replace the bulb, put the socket back in. Similar to changing a headlight bulb.

Actually i just re-read your post and realized you were working the center of the dash not the guage cluster area. I would check fuses first, if they're all good you might try to come at it from the glovebox area.
