To answer the outside temp light, here is a post from our good friend
Bob Myers. The bulb is Radio Shack bulb # 7219 Micro Lamps 12 volts,
60mA.

OAT Bulb Replacement
Robert Myers  <robert at s-cars.org>

This requires minor surgery.  Pull the instrument cluster. (10 minute or
less job. - 2 or 3 screws, slip out the lower trim piece.  Another 3-4
screws & slide the cluster out of the dash.  Disconnect several color
coded and keyed electrical connectors behind the cluster).  Remove the
OAT display from the IC. (10 seconds - two small screws)  Disassemble
the OAT display.  Take your time and put everything in order as it comes
out - nothing is marked.  Unsolder the grain of wheat bulb.  Solder a
replacement in its place.  (10 minutes)  Reassemble everything - aren't
you glad all the bits and pieces are arranged all nice and orderly?
(Another 20-30 minutes)

The replacement bulb is available from Radio Shack in their display of
small lights.  I don't have the part number handy but it is their
smallest grain of wheat bulb.  It comes packaged two to a package.

The only concern is just how comfortable you are with soldering
itsy-bitsy electrical gadgets.

The behind the dash electrical connectors are locked with a variety of
methods.  Nothing requires brute force to get them apart.  Just look
closely at them and figure them out.  Nothing is terribly complex.
