Speedo illumination went out

The illumination for my speedo and trip meter went out last night on my gauge cluster right in front of my eyes. All the other gauges still illuminate.

Bad solder joints? Loose connection? Or just replace bulb? If it's a bulb anybody know which type? Havent had time to open it up and take a look yet.

I'll most likely take you up on that offer.

I'm pretty sure it's not a fuse, if it was non of them would work.
