I would say that you probably have an issue with the headlight switch providing power to the Clocks usually a Grey/blue wire.
There is a thread that shows you how to Plump your connection on a later Cabriolet, and to be honest in the 20 years that I owned my 81 Westy Rabbit Diesel I never had to touch my clocks at all I suspect I was very lucky, but they were a westy (USA) fuse panel the wires were a bit different.
Light bulbs do go bad and usually all at once, so it wouldn't be a bad Idea to replace then whine you have your clock out. I would verify that you have ground on one side of the bulb and 12V on the other, that is 12V to frame. That way you can see if the mylar ribbon is bad.
