95 olds stock CD radio bulb replacement??

[coachmenguy]

has anyone tried or even know if you can take apart your radio and replace the bulbs inside, half my buttons dont light up at night, this is on my 95 cutlass with the stock CD/cassette player, just wondering if this is possible

yes and no. I have taken them apart, which is pretty easy, but the bulbs themselves are TINY, and most are soldered in.

I will have to dig up my old double din radio and take a pic for you.

yeah thanks any help would be good, i have done some soldering but i was hoping to just pull a bulb

I checked here around the house, but I can't find it. I guess I put it in storage.

I need to go there in the next few days, but I might not be able to get there until TUESDAY (I have plans tomorrow, and then I have jury duty on monday).

I can dig my cassette player (from a 1994 88 Royale) out...I know where it is.

The front just pops off...the curcuit board is held in with very tiny screws. The bulbs are soldered in though.

cool thanks a ton!! are those bulbs solid blue?? because if so then all three of those are out on mine, its dark on that side of the radio at night, wonder if its all three bulbs out or something in the circit, at least its easy to get off!! thanks!
