Some Tips -

[jdlc]

My 855 cabin is now lit like Christmas, non-cluster lights were all out when I got the car, including the stock SC-816 radio.

The pinned tip/write-up to replace switch lights and radio lights are very helpful but I will add a couple of things:

1) The easiest way to remove the dash switches, including the rear fog-light switch below the dimmer is to remove the blank plates first next to the switch of interest - like the pinned tip, use flat screw driver and avoid scratching the dash by using rags. When the blank plates are off, it should be very easy to push-out the switches from behind by using your finger thru the 'blank' holes/slots.

2) The AC control has three bulbs, and replacement bulbs are available at autoparts, they are 12v 1.2w mini bulbs #2721.

Also, to remove the AC control unit, remove the radio first, and push out the AC control unit from behind by inserting your hand in the big hole where the radio was. For easy access of the bulbs, I removed the top cover and the front part of the unit. There is no need to remove the knobs as you don't need to remove the faceplate of the unit.

Lastly, I found out that the headlight switch use the same bulbs (2 bulbs) as the ones for the AC control unit (mini bulb #2721),

and it does not need to be disassembled, the bulb holders can be pulled from behind the switch unit.

Bonus tip about oem radio display backlight as I wrote about earlier:
