Lights for Radio are out!

Post by Choppercpt »

I have a some lights out in the radio. Its a real pain to see the controls in the dark. Of course the dealer wants to exchange my old radio for a "reconditioned" one. The cost is around $200. Is there a way to easily remove the radio and change to bulbs in the radio?


Thanks,


Don

1st: Sorry for my english...

2nd: you can use the normal small bulbs out of the other switches in the dash-board. the bulbs in the radio (rc 805) have a blue top of the glas: cut it off the old bulb and push it on the new one.

3rd: to open the radio is easier at it seems. 3-4 screws, 8 plastic... (?), the complete panel could be pull to front. than you can see the black plastic-backsite of the bulbs. ready!

good luck!
