Radio Backlighting

[JellyBean]

Help!

The backlighting to my audio unit, and all its buttons, has gone off. The fuses "Radio 1" and "Radio 2" are OK. I have taken unit out (not toooo difficult), and found several small bulbs. The thing is, surely they cannot have ALL failed at once?

Anyone have any ideas? The display itself was pants - hardly an uncommon problem - but not being able to see the radio at night is a bloomin' nuisance.

Meanwhile, this 1996 LS400 (bought this summer) is my first Lexus and I don't think I shall ever be able to go back to a four-cylinder, manual gearchange bread-and-butter job. I shall just have to sacrifice other things to keep wafting along in the manner to which I have become accustomed...

Have you checked the 'DOME' fuse under the bonnet? ;)

Many thanks ROYT for the suggestion. I just checked the two DOME fuses, but they were OK.
