Default Fuel & Temp gauges really hard 2 see

Hi, I bought a manual prelude lately and the fuel & temp gauges are hard to read it works but really low when I turn the light on it looks like it doesn' t work as the light get lower. The clock part works correclty, anyone who had the same problem on his lude ? I want to know if it can be fix or if I' ll have to replace that part.

Maybe the previous owner put film on the gauges. Are they blue or green? When you put film over them to change the color, it usually dimms like that. Just a possibility.

Did you try adjusting the light to make it brighter
on the dimmer switch?

its the dimmer switch to the left of the steering wheel on the dash. it's a little 'roller' type switch.

Edit, nevermind I thought you were asking a question

There are no dimmer switch, oh it' s a Prelude S, and no film on the gauge, I think it' s an electrical prob.
