    I noticed tonight that there are no lights on my car stereo face plate anymore.
    Not a single one, completely blank and dark. :mad:

    I'm sure they were working a few days ago, last time it was darkish. Could a shunt in the back have affected the bulbs? :confused:

    Anyone know a way to fix please?

    Are you on about the number plate lights on the rear?

    There are no bulbs in the car stereo, there are LEDs, which have a shelf life of about 100000 working hours. If they're all not working, it would lead me to believe that there's either an internal fault not supplying them with power, or alternatively, some head units have a wire in the rear which links them to the headlight control on your car, turn on the lights, and the backlighting on the stereo comes on. If you were rear ended, it's possible this connection was worked slightly loose.

    If it's a removeable face plate check that the contacts on both the plate and the unit are clean and free from small bits of debris, lint etc.
