is it just the display light or the whole radio light not working. if just display then its most likely a led bulb, if the whole radio could be a fuse

I remember seeing about 10 tiny solder-on LEDs just for the screen alone, so I doubt if it's going to be solved by 1-2 bulbs, and even then it's rare for bulbs to go out at the exact same time. Try taking it apart and reconnecting some wires/harnesses.
