Dashboard Clock Light

My dashboard clock light has gone out. The clock is still working - I can see it very dimly. Has anyone pulled the dash apart to replace any of the LED lights? Is it difficult? Thanks. Kiwi.

Great color spec (same as mine, although mine is a 2000 model). This is a really nice looking car. I think I need to convince my wife I need to upgrade to a later version.......

Definitely the tires. Did the parking lot sweeping turns and no sounds whatsoever. I checked the pressure and the rears were a little low (around 32) so put them back to 36. Some improvement, but...

Similar fate...

I am in a similar position, although my noise definitely does not drown out the engine, and is coupled with a minor road vibration. Also does change with road surface.
