Radio Backlight out??

Post by TKASH2 »

Recently I lost the left half of my radio backlight and then one day it just went completely out. Does anyone know how difficult a job it is to repair the burned out bulb??

Very, very common problem, too much so in fact. I have 4 in my basement and 1 in the car all with burnt out bulbs.
