It seems unlikely that three LEDs fail - maybe the driver is dead. Try replacing the. With any LED to see if you can get them to power up.

Ok thank you. the ones in the picture have a short somewhere that I have to find. When I lightly push on the radio face it lights back up. But I will use your advise to test the three under the tune button as they don't light up at all. Again thank you.

Otherwise, measure the length and width and height off of the PCB. Then look up "indicator LED" on Digikey.com (or any other electronics component distributor. You should be able to select color, size, etc until you find one that works for you.

If it lights up when you push the display it's unlikely you have a short. It sounds like something is open so check the quality of the soldering you may have a cracked joint?
