Default 2001 GS300 Stereo Backlight

When I bought the car I could tell one bulb was toast on the stereo backlight (Model P-1718) and the other one recently went. The LCD is fine. I called Pioneer and have both the bulb numbers (CEL1530 $8.95/ea) and the LCD Display (CWM7104 $108.95) but I cannot find anywhere if I can just buy 2 bulbs and replace them, or I have to buy a new LCD. I don't want to do any soldering. Does anybody know if these two bulbs simply pull out and plug back in?
Thanks

I don't specifically know about the display used in the GS's audio system, but I would be very surprised if you had to buy an entire new LCD screen. Usually the bulbs sit off to the side or behind the panel independent of the screen.

My screen's bulbs are dim and the characters on the screen are scrambled :/

I finally found out from Pioneer that the bulbs are soldered to the back of the LCD. I didn't want to do any soldering, so I bought the LCD and will be here in 2 days. I provided part numbers above if that helps anybody.
