clock light went out

yep, the light behind the clock went out after i installed my gauges. The numbers show but the light is out so i'm guessing it's the bulb. Does anyone know how to replace the bulb and if so, what part number i need to order for the bulb? thanks

lol..gotta improvise somehow eh? And I wouldn't suggest taking apart your dash yourself..there might be a slight possibility that you will have more creaks+rattles. Have Acura replace the bulb for you..it's covered under warranty..considering your still under warranty.

I swear this is true... I can't remember why mine went out... but I think I took it in for something... and whatever they had to do... they had to disconnect the battery or something... when I got my car back, I didn't notice at first... but I found out that night that the clock light was out... so I smacked the dash board really hard, and it came back on...

That's funny. Smacking the dash for the light to come back on. I think i've done that too many times and now the light is completly out and i'am just going to let the dealer change it as it's under warranty. It's easy to take apart the dash put why bother when somone can do it for free
