Geo Prizm digital clock bulb replacement

hey guys, needed some help here, my didgital clock bulb went out and im trying to figure out whats the process on takin it off so i can replace that bulb. Dont want to start tearing things apart without knowing the steps, thanks! Its for my 93 prizm and interior looks exactly like Chris's but instead of that screen un der the climate control knobs, theres a radio with a digital clock

so the display does not light? those are backlit by a special light bulb inside the unit. you can take it apart and try to replace it if you'd like. its not too buried but I don't know what kind of bulb it is and you won't be able to look it up anywhere. unless you're totally inlove with the factory radio, just go buy a name brand unit with a CD player.
