The photo showing the cd track 1 playing appears orange but that's from the flash of the camera not the two bulbs of the radio. It might depend on the ground pickup through the fastening screws to be connected to negative power to trigger the light functions.

I'm too lazy to do any more experimenting at the moment but I do wonder.

Schematic section 8A 151 does not show a ground integral with the Head Unit housing.

However, the more places that those unruly electrons can disperse to, the BETTER! Just like kids, when they get together in a tight spot, trouble abounds yUP!
