Default 2003 accord clock backlight out

Does anyone have any experience with replacing the backlight for the center console area? All the controls that are backlit are completely out.

You can see the clock, very faintly, in the daylight. And the LEDs work for some reason.

Does anyone have any experience with this? How to change the backlight bulb on a 2003 accord?

Any suggestions on where I should get it checked out, besides the dealership?

Thanks

do you have 36,000 miles or less? And I believe your car is using an LCD, not LEDs.

It's a known issue. Take it to the dealer. They'll fix it for free.

It happened to me. Take it to the dealer and they will replace the whole radio with a new code.
