Default 2001 accord clock bulb went out? doesnt illuminate at night

is there a bulb for this? not sure. if so how do you change it?
i noticed today driving home from work that the center clock above the A/C console is dark. i remember being able to see the time? hard item to do? if its just a bulb replacement can i buy this bulb at pepboys? or is it a dealer only item due to its size? just a note...no led swap here. its my moms car
thanks!

No, it's a bulb. Probably the smallest know to man. LOL
You have to get it from a Honda dealer. It's about $4
Install is extremely easy.
Use a flat head screwdriver, to pry underneath the clock to pop the unit out. Pull out the unit and unclip the harness for the clock & hazards.
Unscrew the bulb for the clock. It's about 1/2 a turn. Install is the opposite.

Think of the smallest incandescent light bulb you can, this bulb is a million times smaller than that.

It's seriously like a tenth the size on an eraser head or smaller with a base 1mm thick and and the same circumference as an eraser head.
