basic rundown of what you are gonna see

so your radio is missing bulbs....
Image

after pulling off the dash, no screws,
Image

you will see that the radio just pulls right out with 4 clups
Image

start taking apart the radio by prying all the tabs round the face
Image

and the front comes off except for the 2 wire connectorsImage

they are removed with a needle nose pliers inside the unit
Image

get the face off and it looks like this, remove the 5 small ass screws and it all comes apart
Image

here is the back of the face buttons
Image

and here is what your working on
Image

i ordered these 3 bulbs from corvetteradios.com
99 to 04 Pontiac,Aztek,GranAm,Sunfire,Ponvan,Montana 3ea Delco Replacement Light Bulbs $20+ $2 S&H
Image

and they sent me these :S
GM 95-02 10 Delco Display bulbs $20 $2 S&H
Image

here was the difference i was looking at... and i said hell with it and put them in
Image

solder then to the board
Image

and put it back together
Image

and back in the car
Image

2 problems!

something happened when i had it apart.. notice the display screen.. there isnt full light across is anymore, also i lost my volume and tune rotary buttons light... :evil: thinking this has something to do with the wires on the faceplate being incorrect...

also, i only replaced the 3 white bulbs, not any of the orange LED's that light the numbers... radio shack did not have them, and i am going to order online... so you see in the last pic that the bottom row works fine, but some of the numbers are not lit.

i also replaced the red theftlock LED with a blue one :twisted:

when i get the orange LED's in... i will take it apart again and see why the display is not right

Andrew, do you know if these same bulbs will work on my heater/AC controls?

Yes, you just take that metal box off the circuit board and there are 3 bulbs under there.
