This is a really common topic if you search around you'll find lots of information on it and how to fix it.

Basically it's a small light that's soldered in the board behind the overlay. In order to fix it you must desolder the current bulb and solder in another with a resistor and it will fix your problem, but if you do LEDs you should do them all at once and if you're good enough at soldering you should do the stepper motors while you're at it because those will likely go next.
