    Its not. Its a backlit LCD of some sort.

    Ahh....so a bulb behind the LCD makes it shine, but if the bulb goes out the actual LCD panel could still be working! I got ya!

    Hi,

    The odometer/milometer light has gone out on our Vectra. Apparently it's common for this to happen on Vectras, but my husband's worried car won't pass it's MOT without it?

    Thanks,
    Candy

    Why don't you get it fixed?

    Sounds like a bulb has blown. Probably only costs a quid (plus the dreaded labour if you can't do it yourself).
