Default Stock stereo lights are out, how do I replace them?

I have a '99 Corvette and half of my lights on my stock stereo system will not come on. Is there a way to replace the individual bulbs? I did a search and could not find a how to.

Depending on how handy you are you can replace them yourself, or you can have one the forums vendors JW Motoring do it for you. http://shop.jwmotoring.com/product.s...5&productId=43
They replace the incandescent bulbs with LED's. Johnathan the owner is a highly respected Vendor on this forum, he is very customer service oriented.

My solution was to replace the stereo, and all the crappy Bose speakers.

Thanks Larry

Contact us. We can hook you up with an LED upgrade or we can replace them with stock lights if you want. The LED upgrade would be better of course

White LEDs is an option also but it'll make your HVAC look like it's all bunt out. Stock Radio is on the bottom;

I was just going to suggest contacting forum member Tstar, but he beat me to it himself. He's the man with the lights!

Thanx for the plug Dave!

I work for JW Motoring so any member wanting work done needs to go through JW. But if anyone has a question on a DIY, I'm here to help.

Are the HVAC and radio units priced separately?

Is their any difference in pricing between the CJ2 and the C60 HVAC pricing? I have the C60 and not as complicated I think.

Yes they are proced differently, there's a lot of "behind the scenes" work involved in getting the LEDs to properly light up the buttons due to their narrow light beam...

The C60 or Manual HVAC is actually a real PITA to get to look nice and to get the Temp dial indicator to change color;







PM me... I'll give you a couple of particulars.
