Clock = Always illuminated with the ignition is on. (kind of stupid really, light burns out faster that way)
Odometer = Illuminated when lights are on.

Yuppers. Unless you don't have any dash lights as well in which case I'd check the fuse. I'm assuming you have dash lights since you didn't mention them being out as well. The clock light is notorious for burning out though so it doesn't come as a big suprise.

Sounds like just the odometer and clock light then. The clock light is easy to replace. If I remember, it's just two screws at the bottom of the ac/stereo panel to remove it, then you can replace the light. I've never taken the guage cluster apart but I'd imagine there's a backlight for the odometer.

Edit:


According to this it looks like you might be able to remove just the clock portion rather than the whole panel.

The guage cluster is another story though. It looks like you'll have to further disassemble it once you get it out to get to the odometer light.

If you can just replace the bulb in the clock, please PM me. I thought you had to replace the whole unit, otherwise i would have fixed mine by now
