I've got a Realistic TRC-457 base, that the meter light is out on. How hard are these to change out, and where can I get them? How hard would it be to go with a blue or multi-color LED? Is this something one can do themselves or does it require a trip to the shop??
Thanks

check radio shack for the lights.my radio has them.i just got blue ones from there.im not sure
how hard they are to change id just take the cover off and look in and see.hard to say really without seeing it.if it were me id try to get my
locals to do it and save a few pennies.
