The lights behind the fuel and gauge buttons are out. How hard are they to replace? Is it a real pain in the ***?

Mine went out too..but if I would smack them, they would come back on. Now, they haven't gone back out for at least a month or longer. Either way, I wanna replace all those bulbs, but don't know whats entailed. I've asked before but with no repsonse...good luck, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread

I smacked it a few times before and they popped on. Not anymore though, I think I pissed them off.
