1990 radio display out, how to fix?

On my 1990 25th Anniversary LX, the display on my radio is out. (This also happened on my '89). The radio works, I just can't see the time/station. Is this a blown fuse? How can I fix this? Thanks.

There is a very small bulb behind the face plate that illuminates the display, 4 screws two on each side and be careful not to crush it when pulling it out, you will need needle nose pliers and the bulb is still available at parts stores..

For a 91 stock radio light bulb brand that worked was "NAPA" #24. I read up on here where "Sylvania" #24 works also. I tried "EIK" #24 did not work from O'Rilley's. Not sure if they are the same radio
