Default Gauge Lighting Help

I noticed today that my guages arent lighting up properly. It almost looks like something behind them slipped. I cant see the 100s markers on the tach on the left and on the right of the spedo, i can only see part of the hashes. I know it's minor, but it's driving me Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks!

I notice that you have the gauge bezels and the bezels maybe blocking the black light from illuminating the areas that you are concerned about. .

Thanks Zilla! I just installed them this weekend. Is that normal? They fit perfect on the gauges. I dont know if i noticed it before, but since i just put the new bezels on, i was looking at the gauges alot closer. Is it somehthing i just have to deal with?
