The dealer will tell you it is a cluster replacement, but there actually is a bulb back there ( if you can see the numbers, they are just not illuminated ).
Removing the dash can be time consuming, but starting with the knee panel, remove the screws at the bottom. This will expose the screws to the bottom of the dash. Next remove the main headlamp switch trim, and there are 2 ( 3 ) screws behind this that also need to be removed to get the dash trim out.
Once the dash trim is out, you will see the screws holding the cluster in. Remove these, and you can lay the dash on a towel on the steering wheel column. The bulb holder is one of those twist in from the back types, that some auto stores carry ( they are not just 194 or 39 bulbs ).
Time consuming, and Ford used just about every bolt head size from 7 to 10 back there I seem to recall.
