What lights on the instrument cluster do you want to replace? If you are looking to change how the gauges are lit, these are done with blacklight UV tubes. You would have to change the gauges to change the color.

If it is the buttons on the sides, read the thread 'New Interior LED Mod Thread'. Follow this link for it, https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...od-thread.html.
This thread has all of the information you could ever need to update the interior lighting to LED.

The idiot lights are replaceable, though. They're just Type 74 bulbs in screw sockets. However, you're likely to have to R&R the cluster several times since LEDs are polarity dependent, so your bulbs may not light, and you'll have to flip them 180º and try again.
