Yes they can be replaced but you would have to handy and confident with a soldering iron if there isn't a small socket that the bulb fit into. Most if not all the backlighting bulbs are those clear bulbs with the blue covers over them. remove the LEDS from the twist socket without breaking the leads and they would have to be soldered directly to the circuit board like the existing bulbs.

SOURCE: On a 2004 chevy tahoe. Once the instrument cluster wire clip is detached and new bulbs are soldered on the cluster. Does the instrument cluster have to be reprogrammed ?

Shouldn't need reprogramming. I removed the cluster from my 04 Silverado and sent it in for repair and replacement of the bulbs. It was out of my truck for 2 weeks. When I got it back everything worked just fine, no problems at all.

2004 speedometer instrument cluster lights

If any lights come on the dash that can be adjusted by the dimmer switch then it may not be the fuse. and replacing would be the next option.

2004 chevy tahoe instrument cluster (parking brake & abs lights don't come on at all. There are no codes either. Are there specific fuses associated with these bulbs in the instrument cluster?

Hello the Chevy and the GMC are bad for the resistors breaking of the dash easy fix, but they are also bad for the pin bulbs burning out. So if you know anyone that can solder this is a cheap fix can get the bulbs on ebay but personally find someone that can do a good job and go with led bulbs they will last longer and better, but with all the issues i see you may want to look into a new cluster

Hello,

This is a common issue with the Tahoes of this year range but it is very fixable, no need for a new instrument cluster or expensive trip to the dealership. What's happened is your gauge motors have quite working inside the instrument cluster.
