The stock original Becker stereo in my 1991 420SEL (W126) recently suffered a burned out light bulb. I wouldn't normally mind but just moved to rural area and as I leave the house at 5am and do not return home until 7pm, I am always driving in the dark and can't read some of the preset buttons and/or stumble to find the volume control switch.

I have two questions?

1) Can the owner replace the burned out bulb once the head unit is removed? Easy or extremely difficult? Or is this something best left to the professionals or Becker?

2) How do you remove the radio from this car. Have not yet tried as I do not want to scratch/destroy the wood paneling on the dash?

Would greatly appreciate advise on these two questions! Thanks
