Reviving A Stock Radio

[95C1500]

Has anyone replaced the bulbs in their stock radio with LEDs? I'm going to try this. I know you must remove the old bulbs and solder in the new, I'm just not sure which bulbs to use. Also, which end of the circuit board is the positive side? This'll help me avoid having to remove and turn LEDs 180* if they don't work. Thanks fellas

I YouTubed light bulb replacement on them but iirc it didn't tell me the bulb size and since they used normal bulbs, it didn't matter which way the bulbs were

I've taken pics of the dissasembly of the radio and the cd player. I'll explain the different things and post finished pics. What about going form an aftermarket radio to the stock one? just unplug and plug in the stock one? I didn't install it so I'm not sure what all is involved.

Also, the LEDs should be here friday. Dave said I'd need to order resisters for them but Mike (Hyper LEDs) said that LEDs have a resistor on the positive side. So we'll see. Hope they'll be the right ones

If it was installed correctly, you should be able to just unplug the radio harness from the truck harness and plug the stock radio back in.
