I had the same problem with mine. I sent it to Dr. Don's and he put all new bulbs in for a very reasonable price. Also, the turn around time was quick. I highly recommend Dr. Don's.

So what site is this 'Dr. Don's'? Sounds like a place to send in my bro's 'superior engineered Bose headunit' :smash: :lol:

There's a bulb replacement procedure in C4 Tech Tips for the radio bulbs. A few bulbs at Radio Shack and a pencil soldering iron and you can do it yourself!! https://www.corvetteforum.com/techti...=249&TopicID=2
