I think dashboard indicator light has burned out?

94 accord dx, automatic.

I have a dashboard indicator between the odometer and speedometer that
shows this: P R N D 1 2
When I shift my gear to D, the dashboard indicator would light up the
letter to show that I
have shifted to D. Tonight, however, when I shifted the gear to D, the
dashboard indicator doesn't show it. I can still drive normally
though. I think a bulb has burned out. What's
strange is that all the other bulbs seem to work, like when I shift the
gear to P, the dashboard indicator would light up P. The exception is
with the D indicator.

I know of an auto electric shop down the street. Is this an electrical
problem? Or should I bring to an ASE mechanic?

That missing light is not going to cause you any trouble whatsoever
assuming you don't have a problem finding the right gear. Most people
would have no problem. There is no connection whatever to the other
mechanical parts of the car and you are fine as is.
