My 91 has a working factory radio and graphic equalizer. I’d like to get all the lights working and refresh the faceplate. Anyone have any experience with this?

What about adding rca out or Bluetooth in?

What lights don’t work?

The display uses an actual bulb, which is likely burned out by now.

The display on the radio, and the moving light on the equalizer

I believe those are both bulbs, and you need to pop the faceplate off to replace them. I’ve done it on the headunit, but have never dissected the EQ so don’t quote me on that.

I'm actually talking to Todd lane now. He is looking to see if he can find a faceplate for mine.
