Well after talking with my dealer I was told they would have to send the radio to Jacksonville just to replace some light bulbs. They will charge me a bench charge of 140.00 to do this:eek: . Has anyone been able to replace the bulbs themselves or do I let the dealer do it. I also have a few lights out on the electric window controls and was told I had to replace the entire unit as the bulbs are not replaceable:mad: . I don't mind replacing them if someone could give me alittle feedback. Thanks:)

Do a search on "dash lights" or solder. There are quite a few threads out here on that. Other than tearing apart the radio and soldering in new ones yourself, any competent TV, VCR, or stereo shop should be able to do them for less than the stealer.

I have no experience with an 04, but I have done a 99-02 radio for $22 bucks. I would assume the radios may be similar...

I would think anyone that installs radios and other audio/visual components could do something like this. I have the light out on the tuner knob and I will be getting my subs and amp added the first of may and i'm going to see if my installer will replace it.
