Default Clock backlight does not work

Hi all.

I have a 2000 Accord and the backlight on the clock does not work. The time shows but just no backlight. Is this an easy self fix and inexpensive? All other backlights/dimmer for gauges and radio work.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions / help.

Thanks very much HondaEX for the links. I did a search myself but didn't find anything so posted the question. I guess I was searching the wrong terms.

This forum is great!

I need to do this soon, mine was out when I changed my cd player, I think I knocked it loose. I want to replace with an LED, anyone have any experience with one, maybe of a different color?

Thanks

Yeah man. I swapped mine out for a blue LED to match the blue dash kit, gauges, and screen. I purchased my kit from LEDAutomotive.com, and had to solder my own bulbs into the existing holders. It really wasn't very difficult because the website provides a nice picture tutorial for the whole procedure.
