replacing instrument panel light with leds few questions

I am replacing my instrument panel lights in my 1991 rs with leds. I bought my leds from superbrightleds.com and they are the 194 replacement leds. the current bulbs are sodered into the little gray screw in assembly in the back.

1)what is the best way to remove the bulbs?

2)The bulbs i have are also polorized how can i tell if they are in the right way without installing them all first and checking which ones light up?

3) once i remove the bulbs from the assembly do i just slide the new ones in?

any other tips or anything you can think of would be greatly appreciated.

Your best bet is to go to a junkyard and find an older style f-body and take the lights out of the instrument cluster. They are the type where you just pull the bulb out of the socket and slide a new one in. Or you can go to an auto parts store and buy the sockets there.
