Pioneer SX-626 Wheat Bulb Questions

Hi, my 626 was given to me and it is mint. But the top wheat bulbs are not lighting and the meter light is out. The meter "bulb" looks like a fuse. Does it act that way too? Could that be why the wheat bulbs are out? I just ordered the LED conversion kit. And the wheat bulbs look to be glued in. Just gently pry them out if bad? Funny how the YouTube videos show how to replace the fuse lamps. They pop off...duh. But I see no videos on how to remove the wheat bulbs. Tiny wheat bulb "glued" in place. Ouch! Oh, and the receiver plays fine.

That is right, the wheat lamps need to be pryed out with care.Use your ohmmeter to test the lamp continuity to check if the filament is open.
