it is possible, just had it apart and it is similar construction less the flip up. There are roughly 30 SMD's but they are tiny, maybe 1/3 the size of what was seen in your Neon pictures. Will lo into it further as Iv'e just finished the HVAC conversion to blue background with white accents.

airbag LED in the center console and cautions The Air Bag / Passenger & Security lights in the HVAC cluster are 5MM Red LED's and can be desoldered and swapped without removal of the LCD. I permanently removed the Passenger LED, and changed the Security to Blue. Biggest danger in swapping...

reason for 90's Gold Leasing was strong in the 90's and a slick way to bump the residual value was to load it up with port and dealer installed options. So they could bury the trade in payoffs or over mileage fees easier. Corollas were getting sunroofs spoilers rain guards alloy wheels gold...
