Default Dim wit... oops... lit radio face plate???

It's been this way for some time now, so I'm used to it.

However, the left side of my OEM radio in my 95 has gone dim. So this must mean that the head unit has 2-3 bulbs in it to light up its face plate. Essentially, my number 1 and 4 buttons are out, etc.

Is there anyway to replace the bulb(s)?

It's always the little wear-out things at this age and mileage...

Thanks.

I think those are LEDS. Somehow the LED was severed after the amount of use.

they're commonly referred to as "grain of wheat" lamps... very small light bulbs. Can be replaced fairly easily...
