Dashboard display light problem!!

I have a 1999 Chevrolet Lumina (V6 - 3100) and the lights on the dash board display (on the radio and air conditioner controls) are dying out one by one over the past few months. (Not all of them but enough to see a difference) How can I replace these? I have tried but I cannot get the bulb(s) out of their sockets because i believe they might be LED's. I also am unsure about what kind of replacement bulb I need. Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!

The lights on the AC/radio are small and very difficult to replace, so I'm told. The lights behind the cluster are simple and easy, however. I know they're not LEDs but I'm wanting to say they are soldered into place. It would probably be cheaper and easier to just go grab a used air control/radio set. Assuming THOSE lights work anyway :p

Thanks for the reply! Yeah well I went to a local automobile junkyard and I saw a Lumina section there with Lumina's basically of every kind and there are plenty of used radio systems and AC control panels. I figure just go get both of them out of there instead of getting into a mess with replacing the lights.

Thanks again!
