Default Question on dashboard lights

Most of my driving seems to be in the daytime but I had to run out after dark the other night and noticed that the part of my dashboard where the odometer and gear indicator are is no longer lit up. Haven't removed it yet for a look, does anyone know if this is lit by a bulb that can be replaced or is is LED or something? I guess it isn't that big of a deal as the red lights work next to the gear shift so I can see what gear I am in and I don't typically look at the odometer that much.

Did you turn down the dimmer switch on the left side of the steering wheel.

It's a small bulb that can be replaced, not too much work.

I believe it's the same bulb as behind the clock.

I had to laugh at first at DM's response but I've seen plenty of computer help desk reports of people whose computer won't power up and the switch in the back is turned off or they are unplugged!

However I checked it and it is in the on position, the other lights all work so it must be that bulb. I think I actually have another dash cluster in my spare parts box and will check it for the bulb required.
