Here is a writeup of the repair for my Center console light issue.
I got a replacement transistor and soldered it in place of the blown one, and it works!
So here are the steps I did:
#1 follow smaeda's guide to remove the PCB.

#2 de-soldered the existing blown transistor
#3 cleaned the contacts, and soldered the new one in place
#4 installed the radio and tested
#5 put everything back together.
The replacement transistor is a Panasonic 2SB1398.
The part numbers for digikey are 2SB13980QACT-ND. It was about $.85 for the part and like $3 shipping.
*notes
The transistor that blew completely removed the pad on the pcb on one of the legs. You can see in the third pic that on the top side part of it is in place. It was tricky to get the solder to connect to that. Just take your time and you will be fine.
Here are pics of the process

It took a bit of time for me to do this since I had to track down the part get it ordered, etc. If you have the part it should only take you a couple hours to remove the radio, solder the transistor on and reinstall.
Let me know if you have any Q's and I'll try to help.
