Clock doesnt light up

[CG6]

i changed my factory radio to a flip out but for some reason my clock by the heat control doesnt light up at night time. did i miss a wire or is this normal?

the bulb is probably out. you can get one from Honda for like 4 bucks or something

it was working b4 i changed the radio and when i put my pioneer flip out its not lighting up no more. could i have missed a wire?

they seem to burn out pretty easy i doubt you did anything unless you actually forgot to plug in the clock? i think they have a higher fail rate than our tranny?? replace with new bulb from honda or led! i'll go with led

same thing happened to me when i installed my radio, i let it go, then when i took it out to connect my amp i jiggled all the wires and connected them all a bit tighter and now my clock light works perfectly..so maybe just tighten the wires or harness and also u can buy a bulb from radio shack its like 2$ its sku is 272-1092 just rethread that thru the plastic piece and trim the lamp leads and you'll be all set if it is a new bulb you need ooh radioshack calls them microlamps if that helps any hope that helped

Heres the link to the bulbs just to make it easier on you

Thankz for all the support and help guys... i ended up finding a LED i had with the resistor already built in. i did it a little differently didnt ssolder anything. what i did was but the 5mm LED on the board where the ligth belonged, and i wired the positive to the ignition pin and the negative to ilm -
