happened to me too. so i brought it to the dealer to get fixed. the dealer charges $200.00 CND to replace the bulbs cuz im out of warranty.

i said forget it.

a couple of days later, i was slapping the brown panels by the coin holder/stereo cuz some coins were getting stuck, to make a long story short - it fixed my clock bulbs. now its backlit again.

Mine went out also a few months ago. I just thought I was going crazy and there was no light, but got it fixed under warranty.

well, you could replace it with leds of your choice of color. but then it wouldnt match the rest of the lights and stuff on the speedo and etc. do a search and im sure you'll find a lot more info on it.

If your car is still under warranty, bring it in, they will take care of it. I did and the clock lights up again.
