radio light bulbs replacement

[borispeed]

Camaro 99.
There's two radio buttons that aren't lighting at night. I think they aren't hard to replace, but I don't want to mess up. I want to be sure what to do. I been searching without success. Do you know about any website I can get information? Also the small bulbs that light the power window and the lock buttons need replacement. Is there a way to replace them with better ones for a better lighting and looking.

How to do it?
Where I can get those LEDs?
Do I need to make the light hole bigger on the sub-panel?
Do LED's have the same voltage than the stock bulbs?

I really want to do that.

Re: radio light bulbs replacement

I got mine off ebay already premade to fit. I believe it was size 73 or 37, either way they are listed as the same bulb. You have to remove to screws. One behind the door handle and another is harder to describe where it's at. It's on the same panel you have to remove, the other side of where the window switch is. Remove those screws and you can pull away the panel. You don't have to pull it completely off, and you'll see wires where the light is. Twist it out and remove the bulb. It might be a pain to get out. I ended up getting some pliers, closing my eyes, and pulling it out. Bulb went everywhere, but I could pull it out by the filament. Not recommended to do what I did, but nonetheless doable.

Are those LED's bigger than the bulb? Is it necesary to make the hole bigger(where the light comes out) for a better lighting?

Do you know if there's any other number and the voltage to indentify the LED?
