AC backlight went out?

Hey guys. About a week ago I turned on my car and my orange backlight on digital AC readout is not lighting up. Just like the radio the AC should light up orangish color, but now it does not? Can anyone tell me if it is a bulb or something easy to fix? thx.

This is spooky, the same thing happened to my E430 tonight.

I'll be watching the thread. Going to the search engine for now.

Get

a set of radio keys,insert in the slots by the auto buttons,pull the climate cluster,flip over ,remove bulb in middle of the bottom,replace,install back into place. No mystery,the bulb burned out. No conspiracy,it happened to two of you is just the randomness of the universe
