Angry ahhh crap! look what i did... now what??

So i took my dash apart to look at the HVAC controls and see how these new LED's work and all. i wasn't planning on installing them but then my anxiety kicked in and i wanted the green to go bye bye, so i played with those little bulbs behind the little control knobs and tried figuring out how to get those buggers out. note DO NOT PULL ON THEM! bad idea so ya a little pull now i broke the little circuit board for that light on that control and of course now because of my impatience i have no light on that one, what are my options? do i have to buy a whole new HVAC unit? or is there a way around this?? Ive seen the little individual LED's at pep boys or auto zone im thinking i can wire one into my lights somehow or can this be fixed with some glue and a little solder? please help. oh and here is the piece i murdered. sorry for the blur, it was bad lighting

I wouldn't buy a whole new unit just because of that. I think I would take the whole unit out, take it inside, and glue the circuit board back in just to hold the LED, then solder some wires onto the nearest power line or another LED. It shouldn't be a big problem.

thanks for your quick responce!! i found these LED's at pepboys that are the bigger ones but they are connected to just a hot and ground wire. so i think these may work? The problem with the stock light is on the LED is so tiny, with no wires connected you just kinda turn it into the circut board and it does it's magic, so ya i wish i could just glue the circut board and PRESTO! the light would work without any wireing but ya those things are complicated. haha
