Sorry to comment on an old post, but thought it was better than making a new one.
Just to clarify, the dashboard lights on the NT700 are LCD/LED and are soldered to the board? I've done this type of stuff with my car before but I would never do it again, too much risk damaging the cluster.
Not at simple as unplugging a T10/T5 bulb and swapping it out with a LED version?
