There are tiny little bulbs behind the fascia of the head unit...you'd have to take it out, pop that fascia off, and solder in a new bulb. I bet if you PM LS1_SS about it he might be able to help, he put some bulbs into a headunit of mine a while ago.

So wait,........solder?.....so you can't just pull the bad one out and put in a new one like a plug and play action? You actually have to solder it in?
