Working with SMD's do not present a problem. I have previously replaced all the green ones (head unit and window, lock snd light switches) in my 00 SCab with blue when i updated my instrument cluster.
My concern -in this case- is getting the same color as the factory lighting.

That is a good thought. I would rather break something on a salvage learning how everything comes apart, too! Now, to track down the appropriate one.

I did this on my 2009 cluster which should be nearly identical inside. The size is 3528. The OE LEDs have four contacts, but luckily you can use the ones with only two contacts on our clusters -which makes soldering easier. These are also known as PLCC-2 LEDs. I don't recall exactly what the voltage at the LEDs were or where I got them (it was a while ago), but I did it after seeing these in a friend's 2012 F150. US Speedo LED instrument cluster kit. We both went with blue. It was a bit tedious to do, but well worth it.

The biggest PITA part of the instrument cluster was getting the needles back in the correct position. I'm quite finicky about little things like that. They're either right, or they aren't.
