Today I took on the challenge to open my SC-815 to replace the burnt light bulbs in my 96 960. Every single bulb was out and it became especially irratating when the LCD light went out last night. I read through brickboards list of posts regarding replacing the bulbs and found the suggestions to go to Radio Shack. However, I passed by Southwest Automotive repair and asked one of guys over there, 1) if they sold replacement (button) bulbs, or 2) if they had a suggestion where I could find them... To my suprise, he suggested the HONDA dealer [Volvo dealer does not sell em].
In fact, the Honda dealer off 10 and the beltway, was selling each bulb (bracket/socket included) at $1.50 each. No need to remove any glue or any winding. Simple remove the old, and insert in the new. The honda socket is just a little smaller. However it fits perfectly. You'll need to use the blue rubber bulb covers from the old bulbs because the honda dealer bulbs are clear.
I hope this will be helpful to the brickboard community. (Apologies if this has already been mentioned)
Does anyone know the voltage for the LCD bulb behind the radio LCD? Can anyone confirm it's 12V?
