It's just a single globe that lights both of those guages in an MY99 so chances are it's just a blown globe. Easy to change. Just lower your steering wheel.
Undo the 2 screws in the top of the dash surround and then pull it off the 2 clips at the bottom.
You will then see the 3 screws holding the actual dash in place. Undo those 3 screws and just turn the dash enough to undo the globe holder. (It's the big one out of them all)
Shouldn't take more than 15-20 mins.

I can only assume they gave you the wrong globe.
i.e. A higher wattage.
