How to replace shift indicator bulb

Can someone provide instructions for replacing the gear shift indicator bulb (under the gearshift selector) on my 2006 Gs300. Would like the specifics (or pictures) on how to remove the trim around the gearshift to get to the bulb. Thanks in advance

I bet those are LEDs solder onto a board, not regular bulbs.

I just noticed that the lights went out on my gear selector next to the shifter. Does anyone know if it's as easy as replacing a bulb?

Edit: I found this using this on the 2g forum https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...ator-bulb.html

I guess I will try the #74 bulb from v-LEDs and see if that works. I'm still curious how the bulb already died as I barely use the car nor drive at night?
