They have LEDs behind the IP so you cant just 'pull the bulb.' I just pulled the cluster out and stuck some foam in the little light tunnels to block the LED light. I posted some pics a while back.

service vehicle is for stuff like ABS and airbags, 98s dont even have that light, nothing to do with how the car runs. SES is for the engine stuff, you can leave that one
