DIY Radio Light Bulb Replacement GS430 ML NONAV
2001 GS430 Mark Levinson No Nav.
You may remember my first post.
One radio LCD bulb burned out a year ago. The second a few weeks ago.
Radio display was unreadable at night.
Removed radio (remove vents, remove ash tray, two bots up, two bolts down, four wire harness plugs, two antenna plugs, eight screws hold the radio to the frame).
Remote radio face plate (four small screws, five plastic snap tabs).
Bulbs are visible, soldered to the board, each in a green rubber sleeve.
Replace bulbs with soldering iron, trim leads.
Reassemble.
Contemplate your skilled existence.
Bulbs had no part number. Ebay description: 8 Volt Light Bulbs. .430" tall .160" in diameter.
They are a hair too bright, but no one else will notice.
