Display on original radio is that orange/red number type. Half the display is verrrry faint, and half looks fine.
Is that type display backlit with a bulb?

yes
Is this also true with the 1996 Pontiac Grand Am radio? If so, do you have to pull the radio to change the bulb?
TIA Bill

If it's the same orangish red display I'm sure it's the same inside. There are three bulbs. Very special little bulbs that look like LEDs. To get to them you need to
- Remove radio.
- Remove radio knobs
- Remove radio bottom plate
- Disconnect wires from radio front circuit board to main circuit board
- Remove radio face plate and front circuit board
- Remove display window unit from front circuit board. Now you have access to the bulbs
