Jippi 855 GLT Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 i think someone on here did a write up on replacing the bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronD81 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Could all the bulbs be out or is there something I can check. Everything else works fine.GaryI think the best way to check would be to replace one bulb and see what happens. The write-up is good and it should only take about 15 minutes. Someone also posted Radio Shack part numbers for bulbs that are really cheap, the dealer ones are almost $6 a piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazykn Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 The ones from mouser are a direct fit. You will have to peel off the blue color gel off the original bulb and put it on the new bulb prior to installation. The ones that you could buy from mouser are too long and require cutting.

Yellow95 Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I was just wondering if it was odd for all bulbs to be out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I was just wondering if it was odd for all bulbs to be out?Does seem unusual - but unless you try & replace one to confirm if the circuit is good, you've really got no way of knowing...Personally, I'd return it, unless it was dirt cheap....

BEJinFBK Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 "Is it Plugged In?"I'd probably take a minute to make sure that the power is there to begin with.Do your other dash lights work? Gotta meter? Check the power plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEJinFBK Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Here's my other dumb question:Did the lights work in the original radio?Do they if you plug it in now? (Just to check for lighting power). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cant see it at night.GHere's my other dumb question:Did the lights work in the original radio?Do they if you plug it in now? (Just to check for lighting power).I honestly dont remember if they did or not now that you say that. I will try to dig it out and see.G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
