Default steering-wheel audio/cruise-control buttons

alright, i bought an 04 tsx a month ago. the only problem i really have with it is the audio/cruise-control buttons on the steering wheel; they dont light up. its impossible to see them at night. ive noticed that 05+ tsx's have lighted buttons. and of couse my question is can these buttons be easily swapped out? anyone tried this? looks easy enough to me i just dont know if theres anything im missing. thanks guys

i was reading some reviews and was looking through the year to year changes and this is what i found:

2005 Acura TSX: Satellite radio was standard in 2005 models, which also got a new power passenger seat and heated power mirrors. Night lighting was added to the standard steering-wheel audio/cruise-control buttons.

it doesnt look like a project that i cant handle. i was just wondering if people have done this and how complicated it is and if it was worth the time. im just a little nervous about taking stuff apart on a "nice" car. ive done electrical work before but on much older cars that i didnt care much about.
