you will have to remove the whole facia to get to the clock bulb if that is the only bulb out maybe you should wait till a few more go befor changing clock bulb that is up to you but chance that if you just change 1 bulb then put it all back together then a coulple of weeks later a few more go then you will be so gutted still quiet an easy job to do tho

Bearing in mind that if that goes others may not be far behind, consider a new set for the instruments as well
Craig has already given you a link but this will give you access to the other electrics as well

A Tip, don't try to remove the CC panel from the main fascia while it is in " in situ " as it is an impossibility and you will either damage the panel or the nice Ford Wood Effect.
The site talks about removing it by using very thin screwdrivers?, as everyone in Donnie Brasco says " Forget about it ".

mr floppy...
you can remove just the panel,i have done so on several occasions,this is what i do,with a set of feeler gauges use the biggest one to run behind the panel to locate the securing clips (approx above and below the c/c and re/circ buttons),then simply prise the panel out remembering the plastic lug on the right hand side of the panel,you will need to buy new clips to secure the unit back in,last time these were 17p each....

Craig is quite right. I have also done this. As he says remember that the plastic lug is at the right hand end and so once the panel is proud of the fascia slide/pull to the left as the panel releases from the fascia.
