I just changed one today.

First, open the rear door and find the 2 panel screw covers along the edge of the light fixture.(The door actually covers them when it is closed.) Pop those open using a flat head screwdriver or something similar. Remove those two screws(they are Phillips heads) and then pull the whole light toward the rear of the vehicle. You will need to pull very hard to get them off since there is a clip on the side holding it to the rear fender. Once the whole fixture is pulled away from the fender,(be carefull not to pull so hard you pull all the wiring out in the process) remove the wiring clip by pinching it and pulling it out. Now find the bulb that is out by turning the plastic insert counter-clockwise and twisting them off. Pull the bulb directly out of the unit and push in the new one. Re-insert the bulb fixture and turn clockwise. (If you notice the plastic fixture is a triangular shape and will go in easier if you line it up correctly.) Replace the wiring clip and position the light to push it forward into the fender. Push snug toward the front of the vehicle. Now put the screws in and push the screw covers back into place.

Can cluster lights be changed?

I'm unsure of if you mean individually or the entire light. The clear plastic covers seal can be broken off, and then the internals modified. You then would have to use clear sealant to replace the cover. If you mean the entire light, definetly possible.
