What bulb(s) are used in the oem Becker 1692 radio...? It’s been a while since I've opened the radio, but I am almost 100% sure that they use LED’s not incandescent bulbs. That’s not to say you can’t change them, buy you'll need a good electronics supplier to provide you with equivalent LED’s. Then its just a matter of soldering.

Forget about the frosted bulbs. OE bulbs were frosted, but they can’t be readily obtained anymore - if they haven’t been totally discontinued. There is no advantage to them...they don’t run any cooler as they are still 1.2 watts. The "frosting" does cut down light out put obviously. If you do a search under my name you'll find I just dealt with this issue. Bottom line, just go to pep boys or whoever and buy all the 2721's you can find. They are EXACTLY what you need.
BTW, along the same lines as the radio lights, I did change the bulb behind the external thermometer. I just so happened to have a spare cluster around that I was able to open up and de-solder the bulb. It is incandescent and probably in the 1 watt range; similar to the Sylvania 2721 but a bit smaller in size. There is of course no socket; you have to solder it directly into the circuit board.
