The main lamps are easy, any auto parts store will have them, but the smaller lamps are tougher to find. I think Robert (member name RSPI) sells the warning lights for considerably less than a dealership.

thanks lee, I ll go check at the parts store and buy the main ones then at least. most of the others small ones work fine still.

Yes, I took the service light out too when I took the cluster out, and it was from the first things I was thinking of doing, but thanks for the thought.
