Lights burned out on stock stereo
 

The lights on the number 3 and 6 preset buttons burned out on my stock radio....I'm guessing the only way to fix this is buy a new head-unit???

Not neccessarily. You can replace the bulbs with LEDs.
Here is a link to thread where someone did that:

Now if someone could figure out how to get the "clock" area to light back up. My lcd? display went out on the dual zone hvac unit.
