Factory Car Stereo is in Orlando. See if you can get the lamp before you pull it apart. I have replaced my CD player twice, it all comes apart but never looked at the bulbs. I have done car radio repair since the 60s you just have to make sure things go back together properly and no wires are pinched since more stuff is packed into those units.

Got to pull the front bezel and then 4 screws and the radio comes out. From then on it's just screws to take apart the radio. Some skill in these areas would be more than helpful as would knowing how to solder. If you are hesitant about doing it yourself, FCS is the best local place to go and have this done correctly.

There are 2 bulbs for the face of the radio ..the top left is a plug in style...the bottom left is soldered to the circuit board.

thanks very much for the info.

Factory car stereo may be my option if they don't charge too much.

where do you get the bulbs, chevy dealer?

thanks,

John
