Default Streetglide 2016 tacho backlight

Just noticed my tacho backlight has ceased working on the '16 Streetglide - every other instrument is working OK.
The actual tacho needle is working OK,
Question - Can I go in and replace the errant 'light' or is it a major surgery job?
I cant seem to find any real info.
Appreciate any insights.

I believe the tach/speedo lighting is integral to the instrument cluster. My shop manual and parts book do not indicate any bulbs that can be changed. Shop manual states to replace the cluster.

I'll try most any repair but the gauges had too many unknowns for me. My lights were still working but I had "Ohio Cusrom Gauges" change the LED colors in my gauges for $145. He has the skill set to open them up, fix them and seal them back up watertite. He can do many repairs if needed. Look great on the bike and easier to see at dusk.
