That's about it. Struggling with, "restoring," my 1996 GMC 1500 SLE, "upper grade, (?)," AM/FM-cassette-CD unit. (Slave single CD player). I see you-tubes about opening up radios similar and unsoldering burned out bulbs and soldering in new ones. Apparently 3mm size 12V bulbs. Anyone know exactly what to buy????????? And where????? Some of these original bulbs are shaped like a top hat with pig tails. Some on line I see that, "might," be right, are simply oval capsuled bulbs with the two pigtail wires. And are all bulbs throughout radio and CC player pilot bulbs the same? This might be a little esoteric of a question here, however, someone out there must have had the courage to tackle this. Thoughts? Dennis
