Lights radio C5

[Rob M.]

4 of the little lights behind the channel knobs on my C5 radio have died. Are these for sale somewhere and is it possible to swap these out myself (I have a lot of solder experience ;-)

Where are you located & how much do you want to spend? Is it a AM/FM/CD unit? Part #?

I'm located in the Netherlands and want to spend €10 top. So I just want to buy the most correct lights and solder them in myself (when possible)... Are they using small lights or yellow leds?

Hi mike,

Can't find anything on radio lights in the C5 section, where should I look?

Rob,

I don't go to the C5 section there, but in the C6 section those sort of tips are in a FAQs stickey at the top of the "C6 general" section.

Rob, Assume you have an EU radio with cassette player & no CD. If so, I can send you a new one for the cost of shipping. Changing the lamps requires more than just a soldering gun.

Rob,
My memory is faulty. It's the hvac controls that have lots of lights threads. I apologize if I sent you on a wild-goose chase.
