CHISOM Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I have 1997 chevy pick-up and the radio is slowly losing all of its lights in the numbers and the am/fm. The clock works fine are these replacable bulbs? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxMN Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Ha! I have 98, and its doing the same... I just am leaving it, but know exactly what you mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhjr Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Our 99 suburban is doing the same thing. We're just leaving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbymalone Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I think it would be a major pain in the rear to replace those bulbs even if they are replaceable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNice Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 01 silverado here, from what my buddy says (hes a GM wrench) the whole radio needs replacement. Needless to say, only about 1/2 of my radio lights work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy airjer W Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 There usually soldered to a circuit board. There are a few companies that sell replacement bulbs. Corvetteradios have the bulbs and instruction on how to replace. If your handy with a soldering iron it would be a pretty easy sunday afternoon project.

zamboni Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 My 96 Bonnevilles was burned out when I bought the car, so I put my JVC aftermarket in it. Delco radios must be bad for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHISOM Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Thanks for all of the info I think I will just leave it the way it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wattage increases, RCA outputs are there, and 99% of the time they function better. I had my JVC installed in my Bonneville with a Scosche kit I bought at WalMart in less than an hour.
