Yes, they can be replaced, but they are not easy to find and it's not easy to do. I suggest replacing them with LEDs, but you will need to use a voltage dropping resistor. To find the right value, set up the four LEDs and a pot (variable resistor) outside the radio connected to the 895's regulated voltage. You will need some electronics expertise to be successful.

I have had my 895 xlt for several years now and still love it. Guess I been lucky mine has not burned out since it runs 24/7 but this is good info and will have to remember this when it does.
