Greetings. I have a light out behind the heat slide dual climate control and one out behind the oil presure gauge.
Are these easy to replace? Where do I get the led's/bulbs for this?
Any advice as to weather or not this is somthing I should attempt or not would be great!

Search "7219", as that is the bulb number I posted on soldered in bulbs. The threads will also have the Radio Shack P/N.
If the slider knobs are not frozen or glued on, then, yes it is repairable. You'll need two 7219 bulbs, a pencil soldering iron, solder-wik, thin solder, and in some cases, a pin vise to clear the circuit board holes if the solder-wik doesn't pull the solder out of the Circuit Board holes.
When I do them, I simply solder the two joints together and heat them together allowing the old bulb to be pulled out. The solder-wik the remaining solder off, put the new bulb leads through the holes and resolder. Do not attempt to unsolder the large pins on the board, but you can melt a hole in the rear housing to allow better access. It is important that the solder not be bridged when you're done, but it can be bridged to allow removal.
