HELP! Interior Light Color Change Seedo broke - Toyota Yaris Forums

OK I got my speedo working again and I was able to remove the LCD odo. When I got to the PCB I saw the lights and my thought was to remove a light from something like the windshield wiper fluid spot then solder it to the check engine. That did not work. I have done some soldering before but never on something like this. What I am use to is the lights that have wire that go through the board. Looks easy enough to put one on but I can't get one off. Since my thought is to reuse it I did not want to break the light. So at this point I guess I will just order me some lights and put new ones on. I know how to take it apart now so might as well. Guess I will go ahead and change the other lights out as well.
