Another radio question

Getting the radio out is simple. No tools required. Pull off the trim, and then press the release on both sides of the radio. The bulbs are soldered in a circuit board. If you can solder, then it should be a simple task. Otherwise, take it to some electronics repair shop and pay a high price for

2 lousy light bulbs. One of gm's "brighter" ideas! Be sure to write down your radio code before you unplug it!!! There's a rumor that the radio has to be from the same truck it came out of cause it reads the vin of the vehicle. Mine's a 99 so theftlock is as far as they got back then. . .
