The gauges have small halogen type bulbs that illuminate them. I think there are four, two on each side of speedo. Access them from front with bezel off. They are behind small metal caps. That might be your problem.

There is a polarizing film over the instrument panel sections. I have heard of it being damaged by sunlight. You can replace it. Here's one thread on this:
