Default Replace stereo light bulb?

Is there a way to fix this without having to replace the whole head unit?

If there's a thread with good instructions, please post the link.

This is a non-navigation 2008 Lexus LS 460.

Thanks!


Burned out light bulb in bottom right of stereo

They are micro leds. It takes a specially equipped shop to repair this. United Radio is one example. Or replace the head unit.

Well, that's annoying, but it makes sense.

Because Lexus DRL headlights are not replaceable, some choose to turn off their DRLs. Also some choose to dim the dashboard/button lights as full power is what kills them. There's a button on the dash above and behind the steering wheel.
