replacement radio light

When you are the only supplier, you can set the prices...

Try a commercial bulb supplier.

Oh, wait they won't see single unit bulbs, try Radio Shack.

Or, eBay.

Or, keep searching the web!

Or realize that a blown bulb is NOT the problem. A bad display module is. The clock and radio display on GM stereos are Vacuum Fluorescent Displays. The bulbs on that site are for the knobs and control buttons only (and are available MUCH cheaper from other sources).

The VFD however is pretty much a used item only. The good thing is that many of the GM units are interchangeable. They used only a few different ones and they are easy to find.

Which stereo is in it?

where would i find a used vfd? no junkyard i know of would let me pull apart a radio...

Go to a junk yard, pull the entire radio, and go from there... Confirm the VFD is defective first, however.

Personally, unless this is a collector's car, I'd just drop in a cheap aftermarket unit.

a NEW one for $225.00 Oh they also do repairs.

hi, i called up this place

spoke to someone who has fixed hundreds of these radios and he insisted that it was the light which needed to be replaced. unfortunately, he could not sell me a bulb but refered me back to corvette radio.com and i have just ordered a bulb... i will update you went the bulb arrives.

thanks for the suggestions and help.
