Some of the bulbs are replaceable and others are LED. I believe the SES light is LED and soldered to the board. Doesn't it light up with the others when you start the car?

The gauge bulbs are soldered into a holder you have to break the electrodes of and remove the bulb to replace it. I'm not sure if the SES light is replaceable or not but that's how to do it if it is
