Depends on the cluster, i.e. with or without Tachometer, but there is a bulb at the top center of cluster
Google: 1995 ford ranger cluster ebay
Select any that look like yours, they will have pictures of the back of the cluster
There are always 6 back lights, usually they have Black sockets or Grey
The indicator bulbs are usually tan sockets and smaller
You change ALL 6 not just 1 or 2
And you can get LEDs now but they have a polarity so only work when inserted one-way
The back light bulbs are #194
The indicator bulbs are #74, all the warning/indicator bulbs should come on with key on, thats a BULB TEST, and most go off after 2 seconds, so make a note if any are no longer coming on, and replace those or all the bulbs if you want

I assume it is the bigger bulb, as they list two sizes?
I don't have a tachometer.

Lamp designation numbers mean they are manufactured to size specifications. Incandescent lamps with the same number will have the same dimensions. In the case of a 194, the diameter will be 10mm and the height 26.8mm.
Just like AA batteries... doesn't matter who makes it, they will be the same size as everyone else's AA battery.
