Radio bulbs, all pullouts??

Hi,
I need some advice on my stock radio bulbs. I managed to pull plout two of them, but are the remaining two soldered to boards? Or are the holders soldered and I just need to try harder to pull them out? Thanks in advance...



The small circles I could pull out.

IIRC, there is at least one that is soldered to the board. The bulb is mounted in a small holder, then soldered in.

RBob nailed it !

The bulb all the way to the right,... that's the one that's soldered-in. Most (cheap) aftermarket bulbs will require you to reuse the original holder. The original bulb is a 14 Volt, 80ma bulb Part number 'OL330BP".

** Just found these; good price too.

** The other 2 push-in style bulbs are the same bulbs used in various other GM cars/trucks. I usually get mine from ( about ) 97-02 S10 sun-visors.
