Default Instrument cluster lights

Hi guys. I am new here. I was wondering if anybody has any instructions on how to change the instrument cluster lights on a 2011 Honda Accord EX-L Coupe?

The lighting of the gauges are principally SMD (surface mount devices) LEDs that are soldered in. A few people have changed them before; but, not recommended for a beginner without a little soldering skill with SMD type components; the gauge control module (aka instrument cluster) is not cheap to replace if you damage it, and have to have the odometer reading reprogrammed with Honda's Diagnostic System (HDS).

SMD type LEDs are even smaller than the typical LEDs you may be use to seeing.
