Default 1994 Speedometer Display Dim

Hi all,
I got into my car yesterday for teh first time in a month and found that the main Speedometer display in the middle , the letters and numbers were not dark black, but rather grey. Is there an adjustment for the brightness of the display?
The Dimmer lever on the side does not affect this.
Or is my Speedometer going bad ?
Dan

You need to go to the above link, watch the video, and order the proper kit. Sorry this happened to your car, but it is quite common.

Sounds like your polarized film strip is failing. You can go to batee.com for a ton of info on this topic or search this forum.

Thanks for your reply. I understand the problem now. I put on polarized sunglasses and saw a difference. This task is beyond my pay grade. Do you know if there is anyone in Florida who can do this repair ? Looks like a lot of work under the dash just to get the instrument cluster out.
I would consider buying the kit and having someone who is experienced at this. I would even consider having him do it here and pay for his travel and can stay at my home. SW Florida is nice this time of year.
