Several lights on out my factory Monsoon unit
So a couple of the lights are out on my 99 SS Monsoon unit. The 1,3,4, and 6 presets are no longer lighting up. Anyone know if they are easy to replace, or are a pain? Any write-ups on this?

Would it be worth just picking a used unit instead of even messing with it?
Not that it really matters, its just the little things that drive me nuts. I'm assuming
I'd be looking at taking out the unit, breaking it down, and sodering new bulbs back in(which I don't have the tool for or have any experience doing)...sucks.

^^^ This is it. You can also replace the bulbs with more stout incandescants instead of the LEDs.
IMO - Doing the LED's is a PITA and the incandescents are easy to do. I'd also recommend fixing your current radio vs. buying a used stock model because you'll just get another unit that's been lord-knows-where and may not have a lot of life remaining on its bulbs.

I remember the pricing was quite reasonable for an overhaul, just can't remember what it was.
