Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1977 RR Silver Shadow II, cd models, replacement dash


Question
Where can I find replacement dash/panel bulbs?  Is there any way to get brighter bulbs as the ones that work are very dim?  Also, is there a good replacement radio available that fits in the same slot?  Is it possible to add a right side mirror at a "reasonable" cost?  Any answers would be appreciated?  Thanks, Carl

Answer
Hi Carl:
You can get most bulbs at your local Auto Zone, but don't ask for RR parts, just have them match your old bulb. If Auto Zone doesn't have them, Napa will.

I have a Sony AM/FM Cassette replacement in mine. If you stick with a Cassette, they will fit. CD models will require special fitting.

It is possible to put a mirror on the right, but it won't match the left, and it may take away from the value of the car. Same with the radio, so you should keep the old one just in case you or the new owner to want it repaired.
