Default Steering wheel radio controls???

I have a 99 TA with a stock monsoon system and the lights that light up the steering wheel controls burned out. I was wondering if anyone has replaced these themself and how they did it? Also where can I get the subs that are in wall of the rear seats? I blew mine. I am looking for either stock or something that will sound better than stock with the monsoon amp. Any info would be great.Thanks

I think the best thing that you can do is see if anyone is selling there stock subs. Because i think that aftermarket ones wont wort because of the monsoon amps crazy ohms. Dunno about the lights, sorry

If its the same as my 98 you have to replace the whole module.You simply pry it out of the wheel with a small screw driver.The bulb is not replacable as it is soldered to the small circut board.I paid $140 for a new one from the dealer.I think the 99 and newer are cheaper.

Replacing the factory speakers, is never a good thing with these. Ive dont it at work and it just sounds like ***. I believe the speakers in the back seat are $40 ea from the dealer. Thanks....
