Is this a manual or auto, 1998 or 2008?

Remove the shifter trim as shown here and check the wiring connector and/or replace the bulb:

Thanks for the visual. My gear shift illumination has already quit twice (car is about 5 years old). Each time I had my mechanic replace the bulb, now I will be able to do it myself.
