Default Clock backlight out

The clock backlight is out in my 2000 Accord. I can't see the time at night. Any idea what it cost to replace this? I don't want to spend more than $50. Thanks.

Buy a new bulb from the dealer, will be a buck or two.

Remove the clock. To do this, put a little masking tape under the clock (to protect the dash), then put a flathead screwdriver under the clock and gently pry it up and then it just slides out.

Remove the clock bulb, I believe that it’s just a quarter turn and it’s out.

I had the same thing happen about a year ago. When I took the clock apart, I f'd it up. I bought a used one in great shape on ebay for $10 that worked and still works perfectly.

Thanks for the help. It's annoying for not able to see the time at night. I heard many people have this problem. Plus the dealer charges $100 to fix it.
