if you're talking about the needles itself and not the motor than yes i have done it before. all i did was pulled it straight out and push the new one back on.

Was the one you pulled out losing light? When you replaced it did it illuminate correctly again?

I didnt watch the entire video, but you dont have to take all those back screws off to access just the needles. Just the 5 on top and the three on the bottom to remove the front lense cover. Maybe I should have watched the entire video, someone correct me if I am wrong. This is what I have done to mine, and it still works great. I have had 2 needles burn out form Lextech and they have fixed them and returned, no questions asked.
