I had the same problem on my 99 f-350 with a powerstoke. It was easier than i thought. You will have to take your dash apart. First i removed mu radio so that you can take the dash right out of the way. On mine to remove the head/marker light plug there were red clips that held the plug into the socket, move them and pull plug out of the socket, now the dash should come out. There are 2 screws that hold the instrument cluster to the mounting bracket on the bottom remove them and the instrument cluster should be able to be move to get at the back of it. With a small pair of pliers remove the lights that are bad. there where held in with a tan type socket just twist it with the pliers. Most of the sockets are marked on the rear of the intrument cluster.

Dash lights
I have the same truck as you, 01 f-250 S.D. ext cab with 138000 miles. My dash lights started going out on me also about a year ago. First one then another and another, all starting from the left moving to the right. I have three out now. I drive a lot of dirt roads so I though the bouncing around did it. I had to go to the dealer to order them and they gave me the wrong ones at $4 apiece so be sure to get the right ones, there are two different sizes back there. To fix them you do have to remove the radio first. Good luck.
1. Using the special anti theft tools (allen wrenches or similar objects that fit snug in the holes) will push the locking feature out of the way.
2. Remove the two screws at the top of the radio hole. They hold the dash on.
3. Using a screw driver CAREFULLY go around the dash and pry the retaining clips loose. They just push into slots to hold the dash in place.
4. Once you have it loose disconnect the wiring plugs and move the dash cover out of the way.
5. Now you can remove the screws that hold the instrument cluster and get to the bulbs.
6. As far as reinstall well I think you can figure that out.
