If it's a light bulb, should be fixable -- they usually use grain-of-wheat
bulbs that can be replaced by RS 12v 60 ma grain-of-wheat, two per
package.  May take some ingenuity and a (possibly large) soldering iron to
get inside far enough to unsolder the old bulbs and solder in new (with a
very small iron).  Definitely will take patience and methodical approach to
disassembly/reassembly.  If you don't like mechanical jigsaw puzzles you
may not be happy doing this...
