Default A/C & Clock display

I can't read the digital display on the above, It lights up on startup but no digits. How do I get the panel off to check the bulbs behind.
Thanks, Alan

There's really no point of taking the panel off since there aren't any light bulbs. It's an LED display and needs to be replaced. The same thing went out years ago on my old 95 LS400 on my radio & the entire head unit had to be replaced. More than likely you'll have to have the entire a/c display replaced. Maybe you can find one at a boneyard for cheap, unless your car is still under warranty.

Is the LCD blacked out or just no digits? There are 3 12 V bulbs that light the display? If it is burned out then the LCD needs replacing.
