Display Bulbs in Stock Ranger Stereo are burnt out - Bulbs Easily R&R? Or Not?

Have a 2011 Ford Ranger with OEM am/fm/single CD/Sirius/digital clock stereo. Also has auxiliary input port I can put a cable between my phone and the port to play music from my phone.

Some of the bulbs that backlight the display have seemed to burn out. It can be difficult to make out the LCD clock digits in darkness when headlights are on when sitting behind the wheel. Anyone know if it's possible to pull the stereo/radio module and replace the bulbs?

I'm no audiophile, and the radio & CD work fine, and are good enough for me. So not really interested in replacing w/ a new stereo unit if I don't have to. Anyone know if the bulbs can be accessed & replaced?

Thanks!

I honestly don't believe I have ever seen anyone attempt it. If you're not too picky with radios, you can pick up a cheap one online with bluetooth and a install kit for around $100-$150 max.
