    How hard is it to replace a blown LED bulb in instrument cluster?

    The clock bulb on my instrument cluster is blown and I want to replace it. Do you just pick up some radio keys, pop it out, and viola?

    Going completely LED has been my goal over the past couple weeks, and I will say, that if you don't have patience with the T5 bulbs, it will get messy. I also recommend having needle nose pliers. The video shows him not soldering, but I will be soldering as I have found that there is not enough room in the bulb holder without cutting down the replacement and soldering. Hope this helps! I can post some pics of what NOT to do if you want.
