Default Burned out bulb

The bulb behind the time/station part of the head unit is burned out. Is this a hard repair. Anyone done it. Thread? Thanks

There is a tech tip on this somewhere. I did it and it worked out fine. It involves Radio shack bulbs and soldering on the circuit board near the faceplate. If you are confident in your soldering skills, then it isn't too hard. Need to repalce all three lights as the new ones are a little brighter than the orig ones...

Thanks, but I don't think I'd feel confident with a solder gun near a circuit board, not on of my skills yet. How about these new "cold solder" deals. Think it would work?
