You may have seen the
tutorial to do it yourself. If you are not comfortable doing the fix yourself, I can do it for a small fee.
You pay:
Shipping both ways = USPS Priority Mail Flat-Rate Box is $10.35 and the radio's fit perfect
Replacement bulbs from
www.corvetteradios.com = $23.00
For my time = $10.00
Total costs to and from your door: $53.70
***edit*** If you want me to replace the small button bulbs, I can do that also for an additional $4.00. They are $1.79 for a 2pk, and there are 4 bulbs in the display.

Nothing wrong with preventive maintenance. If you send me a radio, I can ship it back the same day I receive it.
I can do those also. Those small bulbs are $1.79 for a 2pk. If there are all out, thats 4 bulbs or $4.00

You want me to do it at the meet? I'd have to bring all my stuff with.
You'd save $20 on shipping, still $23 for the bulbs and $10 for my time.

If I find out I can't get the GXP I am trying for I will take you up on that offer. I only have the bulbs
out on the buttons for the AM-FM and the CD-Tape . And by the way you can't replace the bulbs
behind the buttons on the steering wheel. They are in the switch assembly. Unless you
are good with a soldering iron. You may have to replace the switch.

That's fine, I will replace only those small bulbs if you want.
I have no problem replacing those surface mount LED's in the steering wheel buttons, as long as they are provided to me. The switch assembly comes apart easy.

Yes, but the cluster is a lot trickier

I'm not sure if its something I would want to do for the masses. There is a very high risk of failure when taking the gauges off.

Are those bulbs on the site as bright as our factory bulbs?

The bulbs that Andrew uses are nearly identical in output to stock bulbs.

So you're still doing this?
I have a few on my radio out. I've also wondered this, and have asked other GXP owners this, do the lights on the heated seat buttons light up? Mine don't. I haven't been able to get a clear answer on whether they do and my bulbs are out, or that just doesn't happen.

Yes I still do this.
Yes heated seat switches are supposed to light up. Send those along and I can fix them also.

I only have 1 burned out bulb behind the LCD display. But do I have to order a replacement bulb off that corvetteradios website??? I don't want to pay $23 for 3 bulbs of which only 1 if possible. Could I get the bulbs for the display from Radio Shack?

The brightest bulbs the shack has are dim in comparison to ours. Replace all three as preventitive maintenance so you dont have to have your radio opened up again
