Have had this wagon for 6 years and had never had lights on clock and temp at bottom of dash lights. Are these suppose to light up?

If you mean the ones within the cluster then yes. I beleive there to be 3-4 bulbs within that panel.

The time / temp portion is backlit by a single lamp, it is the same lamp style as the idiot lights.

I get mine from these guys:

With three 850s in the driveway I buy a couple of 10 packs at a time.

Thanks. Another thing to add to my list. Have the rpm light out as well as the odometer gear. Others as well.

Those are easy, any auto parts store will have them. They used to be called W3W lamps but they have some new number now and I don't recall what it is off the top of my ever balding head. I think Sylvania still has W3W somewhere on the package. Take an old one with you to match the wedge base style and size. It should otherwise be a 12 volt 3 Watt lamp.
