SS/SC Gauge Cluster: Burnt Out LEDs

My 2006 SS/SC came from the P/O with blue LED's in the cluster, They are starting to burn out.

Here is what I am dealing with:

Any idea how to replace them?



They look like they're soldered on, but i don't have a soldering gun.

I found a Cobalt/G5 Cluster for 50$ on kijiji, am i better off just buying this cluster and using my gauge face (I Don't really want the blue LED's anymore)

Go buy a soldering gun for $15 and give it a shot. What's the worst that can happen? U have to buy a new cluster anyway? I think it's worth a try

Either go get a soldiering gun and soldier in new leds, or buy a replacement cluster. If you want an entire led kit, check out black cat customs. If you try to replace them one at a time your probably not gonna find leds the same color.

I have extra blue ones the same colour, i just dont like blue anymore. I may just buy a new cluster and put my SS face on it.
