I have had to take my radio apart once because ALL of the bulbs weren't working. The one I worked on was from a '95, and I'm not sure if it's the same as your model. But anyway, I couldn't get to the bulb that was behind the display. I don't really reccomend taking the radio apart though, the little plastic tabs that go from the buttons on the circuit board to the buttons on the face plate break off VERY easially. I can't use the preset station buttons and more, and when I unplug the battery for my car, I have to take the radio apart again to turn off the stupid Dolby NR.
