Re: radio install question...+change odometer lights

Im not sure how to change the background lights but I can give you a hand with the radio I only changed my radio 2 days ago.... You have to remove the whole lower part of the dash the screws inside the glovebox area and all the way across to under the steering wheel...Some of the screws are hard to find but there is 10 in total...once you have got the lower part of the dash off dissconnect the cigeratte lighter wires just by pulling the plug apart and remove it from the car...Now if this is a stock radio when u look up and under the dash you will be able to see the rear of the heater and fan control and directley above that there is the radio..there are only 2 screws holding the radio in and they are black and are removed using a philips head screwdriver.. they should come right out and be carefull not to drop them because they are easly lost in there..now with a gentle pull at the front of the stereo it should slide right out, pull it out just far enough to expose the wires and remove the plug with the speaker wires and the antenna and now ur stereo is out.. to put the lower dash back in just remember where all the screws came from and just do the opposite to taking it off...if you got anyproblems with this just let me know and ill clear it up
