Instrument Panel Light Bulbs. Question

I called my local Ford dealer to see if they could tell me what light bulbs are
listed for my dash guages and to my surprise they said there is nothing listed
or they can't find it via their illustrations. Does anyone know if there are replaceable bulbs that light the gauges or would it be bulbs soldered on a printed circuit board. I wanted to put in blue leds bulbs as I can't stand the green light. This truck is a 2008 F250 w/6.4. I seen the bulb replacement
for the 2000 - 2004 Fords
Thanks for any info

According to the manuals, the lighting is controlled by dimmable LED components and is not serviceable.

You could probably hack it, but the cluster is not cheap if you mess it up.

Thanks

FireMe:
Thank you for the info, you saved me time of opening up the dash to find
this. I'll go search for a broken cluster to see what is all involved and parts
to solder in blue leds.
