The illumination of the car radio uses the same type of bulbs as the dashboard switches. To perform this task, you will need: a cross screwdriver, some small flat-head screwdrivers, and bulbs.

It is advisable to replace all the bulbs even if only one is blown; therefore, it is recommended to do the work with the radio powered on. Extract the radio by removing the front panel and the volume knob, which is pressed on. You can then remove the bulbs as you would for any dashboard switch.

To pull out the bulb wire, use the various screwdrivers.

Once you confirm that the new bulbs light up, simply reassemble everything in the reverse order.
