Default Some of the Inst. cluster lights on my 2000 Honda Civic's speedometer do not work

I own a 2000 Honda Civic LX that I bought with 174,505 on it. It's my first Honda. I put 20,000 on it since and I love it. It's my workhorse. I have a problem reading my instrument gauges at night though. I am able to see the numbers, letters, and markings on the tach, speedo, fuel gauge, and therm (they are all perfectly lit), but I cannot find the needles. They are no longer lit. This seems like a light bulb or wiring issue issue not a fuse issue. I am thinking I have to change one or more bulbs, but I do not know how many I need. Looking online, the type of bulbs that need replacement are 168s or 194s? I am thinking to change all since I do not want to keep changing one at a time as it burns out. I never removed the instrument cluster before. I have seen posts on here that show it. Does not look daunting.

I also no longer see the D4 lit when I put the auto transmission in the drive position. Every other position (P,R,N,D3,2) works fine.

Here's a photo of it in D4.

One problem appears to be some blown gauge light bulbs (see below).

For the D4 light, you may need to replace the AT gear indicator circuit board in the cluster, though do a search because there may be a way to repair the board.
