Well you're already there. It's as simple as desoldering them and resoldering them. Once you can see them, it's free game to pull them off and replace them. There's markings on the PCB that shows which orientation they should be (the diode symbol).

Quick example video that demonstrates removing and replacing SMD LEDs of the same size on the headunit.
