Default dash lights and battery guage

on my 02 bonnie sle i have some lights on the dash blown out... they light up dim i think its because the other lights next to them maybe light them up but during the day if i have the actual lights on u can see they are not working... is there a way to fix those because i dont wanna pay 500 for a whole new guage cluster... at least they quoted me at that at the dealer and thats remanufactured... also is it common for something in the bonnevilles to drain the battery... i have had the alternator checked replaced a new bigger battery put in a new belt a new tentioner and it tightened, everything has been tested but they said something is draining my battery it hasnt died but i noticed if im stopped and turn the battery guage goes down or if i roll the window down once it goes all the way down the guage will go down then back up... anyone know why?

Do a search on this and see fi you come up with anything. I seem to recall someone changing out some of the bulbs in your year.

The bulbs can be changed, I've seen pictures of others cars with different colored bulbs in the dash.

Unfortunately the person that was able to change the bulbs hasn't been on since he did it, I sent him a PM asking if he could post a few pics but haven't heard back
