The two backlight bulbs have probably blown.

If you click on the following link (from the Vauxhallownersnetwork.co.uk how2 section) it'll open into a word document (or wordpad if you don't have MS Office installed) and this will tell you how to change them.

You probably won't have to go as far as removing the speedo assembly to access the clock/stereo display.

In short, you can't. It needs to come out to access the bulbs. Just click on the link I posted and follow the info.

From what I remember, you have to remove the trim that covers both the stereo display and speedo pod, but you can leave the speedo pod in situ while you attend to the stereo display.
