This video shows the steps to completely remove the instrument cluster module from an Infiniti G37. In this case my backlight LEDs were flaking out so I needed to remove the module to get to them. Ultimately I removed all 36 backlight LEDs and replaced them with brighter versions.

I got the LEDs from Digikey. They are part #160-1766-1-ND, but are now obsolete. I will say that these are TOO bright as they now make the center display look dim... I would now suggest trying part #160-2044-1-ND as these are similar package, but lower brightness. At least one person said they used these and they liked the result. These only have a single terminal on each end (vs. two) but you can simply solder the single contact on the LED to the two contacts on the PCB with no problem.
If those are unavailable, I found a slightly less bright (1100 vs. 1400lm) version on ebay here: ebay.us/o4p23L
