Strange dash light failure

Hi. 1998 XJ8 and the green light on the dash indicating headlights are on just disappeared. Blue high beam light is still there.
I pulled out the instrument panel and all bulbs are fine and no fuses gone so am assuming these signal lights are not light bulb driven by the screw in bulbs on the back of the panel but an electronic led or smething in the circuit board ??
If anyone knows what these panel inicator signals are (I assume they are all the same such handbrake warning, oil warning etc) and if they can be repaired and how I would much appreciate thanks.

I now see that the various warning lights and instrument needles etc are all lit by various little leds and thats why my headlight on indicator is not working.
Can anyone point me to a description of how to disassemble the instrument cluster tks?
