Probably because you're really not using your night vision, given that you have headlights....

It would be my bet they're using colored LEDs since red/amber and green LEDs are about 10 for a penny in bulk, so this swap would most likely require new lights.
Another thing to think about...since we're dealing with more than just a handful of elements (I'm guessing there's about 70 without looking), Honda has probably set the display up as a unit (i.e., no individual LEDs to unsolder and replace, just one large array).
I have no idea since I haven't really thought about it until now, but it is certainly the economical way for them to go. Make the entire assembly cheap to manufacture and replace it as a whole as they fail.
