They are LEDS.
Use 25 watt or less soldering iron and get the positive lead into of diode into the correct hole.
DO NOT use radiator solder, use 63/37 tin/lead solder rosin core.
Radiator solder will make for a cold solder joint and lights won't work and you might as well get a new board as it will be impossible to remove.

Before doing anything, place/mark a dot on the top of the light so it goes back in correctly.
You might try a cluster repair shop, if not another board from another car.
