Default Replacing radio bulbs

http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...%5Fid=272-1154

perfect



Easy to do. Just pull the radio, take off the front panel, remove 8-9 screws and use a soldering iron to swap the bulbs. Takes about an hour start to finish including removing the radio.
Use a wide tip soldering iron so you can heat both leads with one swipe.

I'm not sure who posted this bulb , but thanks

I just changed all the bulbs in my HVAC control with those. I'm glad to hear it works for the head unit as well.

If you know how to get the radio out you won't need instructions.
If you are mechanically inclined it's simple to do.

Maybe someone who has done it also can post some pics. I don't have a dig ital camera yet
