Default Guage lights - repairable?

Hey guy and gals,

So I bought a 2000 F4, and love the bike, but there is one thing that has been bugging me. The lights on the gauges are really dim, and the temp gauge and odometer are burnt out, so I can only see them during the day.

Now before I pull the gauges and find out the hard way, I wanted to ask if anyone knows if the bulbs are replaceable, or are they sealed units?

Also are there any direct plug and play replacement gauges. I know on my harley I was able to buy a Dakota Digital speedo, pluged right into my factory harness and gave me many added features.

Thanks in advance.

All of the bulbs for the gauges can be replaced separately - they arrive as a bulb/holder assembly and are a quick 1/4 turn fitting.

I never found any LED replacements but the bulbs are easy enough to find.

EDIT - these are the bulbs - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3PCS-2721M...#ht_147wt_1018

They are hidden under some rubber gromets.
