Don't know exactly how a friend of mine did it...but it did not take 30 minutes and no soldering was involved. Just a bit awkward to get at the screws.
Good luck.

The 7382 is a small leaded (i.e. has leads) incandescent bulb. While it could be soldered I really doubt it; more likely they are just stuck into small pin sockets on the board. Pull them out (gently) and replace them. The bulbs are available from Amazon, Digikey, etc. so a local electronics store may have them for you. I saw them from $0.50 USD to about $5 USD on-line (each).

Had mine replaced recently by my hi-fi dealer. Looks so much better with the lights on especially when listening at night!
