Changed the bulbs with info I seen LEDS look great but my display is not working whats that all about took so much care in this little project. does anti-theft have any thing to do with this?

[@peter455sd]

Very nice,thanks !

[@112Leondeoro]

Hi , please can you answer my question, what color cables in your wiring harness did you use to test the light bulbs ?

[@abelcable798]

Do these bulbs give a white or yellow light result? I know LED white gives a blueish color which I’m not a fan of

[@Car-Radio-Bulbs]

Incandescent bulbs will give off the factory White color and my white LEDs will be white while others will be bluish.

[@DM-mm7rs]

Do you just put in the bulbs anyway or is there a positive and negative side on the board?

[@Car-Radio-Bulbs]

It doesn't matter with incandescent bulbs.

[@DM-mm7rs]

I replaced mine using this bulbs and it works sometimes and other times 2 and 5, and Bal and Bass don't work. What's the reasoning behind this and is there a fix?

[@Car-Radio-Bulbs]

I would guess a few of the bulbs are not soldered correctly.

[@Tanner69046]

Do these look like the OEM bulbs?

[@Car-Radio-Bulbs]

They are as close as you're gonna get.

[@jefflong6926]

He tells you where to get them at the end of the video. the web site is listed there.

[@zbear404]

How do you power the radio to test the bulbs after installation?

[@Car-Radio-Bulbs]

I use a wiring harness I cut out of a junk car and a power supply I bought from Radio Shack.

[@zbear404]

@@Car-Radio-Bulbs how much would it cost if I sent in my am fm cassette player and air control panel to get their lights fixed? I also need the buttons replaced on the radio. I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500.

Were did you buy the bulds?

[@jeremygibson2014]

I did this and I think I had a bad solder. They turned on and 1 popped them they all shut off... The radio part where the station/time is only comes on when the ebrake is applied.. All the fuses look fine.. Any idea what happen?

Is is possible to replace the clock component? Are there any cars with a red clock? I've got all red lights in my dash but green clock and radio lights irks me.

[@Car-Radio-Bulbs]

corvusala No, unfortunately the clock part of the radio cannot be changed.

[@Magnero]

audioxpress 1 I did a little more research and apparently the lights on the clock are actually white and it's the glass that's colored. You can take that out and cut a matching piece of what ever color you want acrylic. The more you know.

[@Car-Radio-Bulbs]

corvusala Let me know if that works. I will have to investigate that. Thanks for the update.

[@Magnero]

OK did it this weekend. It works but make sure you get a very thin sheet of plastic. The edges need to be like a 16'th of an inch thick.

[@Car-Radio-Bulbs]

Good to know thanks.

Whats a better chioce the 4mm or 3mm

hi I have a 95 chev silverado truck. The clock and radio display are not showing up ,can anyone take a guess and tell me what the problem is. thanks for any help

[@Car-Radio-Bulbs]

Diane Hammer The radio display is bad, as far as I know you can't fix it. Just replace the light board. That would be my guess.
