Light behind Dashboard clock burned out?

has this happened to any of you guys? I noticed it after a long trip from/to SF/LA while in the trip my battery just died while i was at a gas station and someone gave me a jump, after that night i noticed that the digital clock wasn't lit and when i turned on the light inside the car could tell that it still works, its just not backlit...i wonder if i take it in to acura will they replace this for free? its at 45k miles at the moment...

Console and clock light

Please let me know if you obtain instuctions on how to get the console off to get to the clock light. I have the bulb, figured I can replace it myself rather than paying the dealer$50 labor charge.
