Should the dash clock illuminate at night???

I just got my 98 CSVT so I am not sure if it is broke or just never did anything....

Thanks in advance,

Yes Trevor it should shine at night. (In the day too). Without fear, pop the oval panel surrounding the clock using something with a thin blade to get to the bulb. I went in on the top side. John

Thanks John,

I will look at it this evening....

Yes it should , and use smethign like a blade like John said and pop of the oval , you will see a small black round plastic thing recessed in the middle of the fixture, there is a screw head on it so unscrew it and that is the bulb . i had to go to the dealer to get the bulb b/c nobody else had it. Be sure to keep the little green condomn thing though , b/c the dealer doesnt give you the light with one. It was like 4.84 after tax or something I guess since they have to replace the entire housing too. I just replaced mine . Good luck

never seen what the holder for it looks like, but if it's the same as high mount stop holder, then you can get the bulb outta it if you try realllly hard and then replace with a "74" bulb from parts store.

we tried doing that at advanced auto parts and it didnt work , dont know why but thats just my experience.
