Need lightbulb for radio...

... for my '89 F-150. The light bulb fits into a tiny socket that fits into a little box along the rear of the LED display. I tried Radio Shack's catalog with no joy

thanks
Jim

I replaced the bulb in my radio also about 2 years ago.
Brought the old bulb into AUTOZONE or CHECKER and found
something the same size, about 4 Watts I think.

Good Luck

I did buy one at the ford dealer today for $2.50. I think they have the same thing at autoparts store for cheaper.

I picked up a pair of "european instrument blubs" at Advance Auto Parts for $2.19 for a pair. A little smaller than the original, but seems to work fine
