I hope there is a bulb in the clock, as I just ordered something call a,"dashboard clock bulb and holder." I hope it is for the digital clock and not the analog clock. I have the same problem by the way. It should be here friday, and I will let you know if I wasted my $6.95 then, if know one speaks up sooner.

You didn't waste your money. There is a tiny bulb behind the clock. Getting it out is the tricky part.
i brought my DII in to get something else fixed and had them fix the clock while they were at it, all it said was "changed clock bulb" ... it was under warranty so no cost
use a sylvania 2721 bulb
Bulb is a Sylvania 2721 (W2.W1) BP . Remove the holder, look at the sides and you will see a small silver clip. Use a very small screwdriver, push the clip inwards on both sides and withdraw the bulbin its holder.. Look at the bulb you pulled and shape the wires on the new bulb teh same way, and reinstall in the holder.
2 bulbs $2.30, replacement bulb in holder at my local lr dealer $9.95.
Time to replace, 5 minutes. You decide which is better way to go.
Hope this helps

Yes, there's a bulb
And removal of the clock isn't nearly as bad as some think... I just used two old credit cards, one above and one below, to release the catches and then wriggled it out.

Good information and timely. My clock has been on the blink, lately. Not sure if it's just a bad connection or possibly the bulb on the fritz. This gives me something to go on. Thanks.
I recently pulled the whole thing out (screw driver, removed the cup holders) ..and as soon as I get the analog clock will install it. My clock will only show the number 8 and 10. It has become a real problem, as I am missing more appointments day by day. If anyone needs or wants it let me know. The bulb is fine, its the green LCD I do believe that is on the fritz. Melissa D1
LOL! I use this method with other things. Like when I removed my running boards.

My boss has been laughing at me for the past hour or so...I am convinced that I can make this work. Of course, it will be rigged but it will work. Anybody have any suggestions?

Melissa its very easy - you just need some knife & file or grinder with cutting blade.
You just cutting out "frameP" of side of your new clock in existing housing, and then got to remove some plastic bits to make it fit snuggly.
Clock itself runs off 2 wires as you may see, and you got 3 in your existing plug. I cant remember which ones to use
Few drops of 3M glue for plastic may help too
