Default clock backlight?
Is the clock on a late 944 supposed to have a backlight?

That's a lot of cash for the clock IMO.

The clock itself costs a lot but the light bulb is only like $1.50 at paragon. Its just a screw-in type bulb like on the back of the instrument panel/gauge cluster.

I wouldn't really call three trim pieces half the dash... Its a hell of a lot easier than a lot of other cars.

I believe there is a write up on Clark's. You just have to take that trim piece off.

Buy 2, it's easy to break the holder on the first one.
