good luck
I fixed it by putting in a new radio.
I used factoryradioservice.com on multiple radios including my lx450 leds. You mail it in and he mails it back. He can also put in a discrete aux in jack on the face of the radio to maintain the stock look.
I was able to restore the display lighting by swapping in a bulb from a different location. The LX radio may be different though.

Since then, after much searching, I was finally able to find the right bulbs.

The ones I needed are 3mm 14V 80mA. I should note that they kept sending me the 60mA bulbs at first, good thing I tested them first!
Fixed the CD player and LCD backlight
The factory radio had no display light when I bought the Cruiser and shortly after, the CD stopped working. Four years later I finally got around to this. Pulled the head-unit, removed the top cover (6 screws): Located the laser pickup: Cleaned the lens using pure (anhydrous alchohol):
