BS!!! Absurd! The reason it's "not a repairable item" is that there is a
whole lot more money to be made by replacing rather than repairing.
Pull the instrument cluster, find the bad bulb(s?) and get a replacement
from your dealer. (<$5) Reassembly is the reverse of dis-assembly.
If you need help with how to pull the IC, ask.
