Re: OEM Radio Illumination?

I'm no stranger to Subies lil lamps in the HVAC controls and buttons in my Legacy and figure it's probably simpler than it looks. HELP!?

Unfortunately, unlike the CD player with the removable card, that contains the lights, the Radio lights are on a card that would have to be unsoldered. Then, each individual light would have to be unsoldered and replaced. The "intermittent" lights are typical of the SVX. I have two, they're both wiggy. One of these days, I'm gonna pull 'em out and fix 'em. One of these days.
