Probably just a blown bulb. Very easy to change, 4 screws i think?

Is it just the clocks that aren't illuminated? How about the heater controls?

its just the speedo lights really...ye i will check the bulb? is it just the 1 or is it a few?...i thought it was a few of them so i thought it would be highly unlikely that it was all the bulbs blown...

the heater controls doesnt work either but thats been like that for a while.. :?

Probably - night illumination would be greatly reduced. Falls under headlights.
