I have a 93' 240SX SE with the digital clock in the center of the gages panel (don't remember the correct word). This is a very neat feature, particularly at night, it is kind of electroluminiscent; but now it's not turning on.

How can I fix this? Is it fixable?

are you talking about the clock that's like with the spedo. and odo. gauge cluster? Because if so, you can replace the bulb...while you are at it, you might get colored bulbs for the clock and the rest of the gauges, looks pretty damn cool at night, especially red.

Hey Stud, thanks! Yeah, red should look great...but what kind of red? Clear or dark, with dark red the clock looks fine?

Thanks.

Coool! Umm, something else, how many bulbs have to be changed? This so I can have them before dismantling the gauge pod.

it was 3 on mine plus a clock light so 4 all together (clock light is a lot smaller and gauge lights) but it could be different on your car

sorry the pic is a little blurry, it's hard taking them at night. I kinda noticed it doesn't look too red kinda pink in the picture but trust me it's red. also it's not very bright for some reason...probably because my battery is running low from sitting so much. but if you have a working car then the lights will be a lot brighter.

oh and by the way...my gauges are white during the day, but they look black at night...it's kinda cool

Wow Stud, what happened!? I see your airbag open and you say the car has been standing. Are you OK?

Oh, how you get the icons in the Reply area?
