Default Lost some illumination in my GM radio...

which is in my 1989 Cadillac. Most of the display lights up but portions of it do not. I presume a small bulb has blown but how hard is it to replace these little bulbs. Removing the radio will not be a problem, I am sure, but where to go from there. Thanks for any replies. Even though this isn't for a Corvette, I hope you can help me out.

Most of the time there are 2 small bulbs inside the front panel cover. Take the radio out and if lucky you can get to them by the sockets or you may have to remove the top off the radio. If not you will have to remove the front assy. The bulbs or a like kind should be at Radio Shack or if not find a radio repair shop. Replace all at one time - because the other is dying also.
