Radio light bulb
I was taking some parts/knobs off a stock 67-72 AM radio that doesn't work.
Removed the face plate and noticed the burned out light bulb. Saw that it's installed from the rear of the box, just pops right out. Never knew it was this easy to replace. Gonna buy a couple off Ebay to keep around, install a new one anytime I put a radio back in the dash. Bulb is # 1893.

Re: Radio light bulb
I wonder if an LED would work in there. Would need one that didn't get too hot.

Re: Radio light bulb
LEDs don't get hot like that so no worries. The LED bulb number is BA9. I believe the BA9 works in the heater & a/c control panels as well.

Re: Radio light bulb
Those look like they would fit.
I'd like to see one installed, how it looks at night, how the 'white light' looks and how bright it is.

Re: Radio light bulb
Dont buy the ebay/amazon leds. They don't last vary long and are poorly made. Spend the exta bit if you can. It will save you the headach latter on. Other wise just stay with stock.
