Are there LED's in OEM radio or are they small incandescent bulbs? Some of mine are burnt out and I need to replace them. Thanks

 

yea.... somebody help him! I have the same issue! The whole bottom left corner of mine doesn't light up any more.

 

Also is there a write up showing how to change the bulbs?

 

Nope.... Gotta Get The Radio

 

mine are getting to where they are slow to some on with a delay of some sort

i think they are probably incadescent because the dim with the dimmer on the headlight control panel and LEDs require a completely different type of dimmer with a resistor type of thing and i know for a fact the 99-02 style instrument cluster has incadescent bulbs in it...

 

Thanks nightrunner. I found a write up on fullsizechevy and you can get some new bulbs from corvetteradios.com

 

They are led's and they can be replaced, but it is diffucult to do if you aren't skilled at soldering. The area to solder is very very small there are some people around that will do it for you and you can even have a different color led's installed, but it will probably be cheaper to just buy a new radio.

I found some picutres somewhere of a truck where the guy had replaced every led in the truck with blue one's. I mean "every" led, steering wheel buttons, window switches, heated seat buttons, radio, ac control, gauge cluster and anywhere else there might be an led. It looked really nice, but I bet it took a long time to do and cost a small fortune.

 

remember he has an 02 not an 04 which are completely different lighting systems

 

Even so the new bulb's are going to need to be solderd in to the pcb of the radio.

 

ohh, i was thinkin when 04blacksilverado did his interior he said the 03-06 had leds where as the 99-02 had regular bulbs, this is referring to the instrument cluster, and i assummed the rest of the interior was the same
