I just removed the gauges again and there is no way in hell that I can remove the blue film. Maybe on just a s13 but not on a s14.

I did take the cluster apart and got down to just the gauge. The gauge itself is made of blue plastic, I also noticed that my s14 gauge is different from other s14 gauges, I have a 95 non se. But I did sand down the back of the gauge with some fine sandpaper, it made the numbers a little brighter.

my middle light went out, I don't know if it burned out or just came loose. Haven't wanted to take the dash apart again.
