Re: Guage panle
It may be hazy from improper cleaning in the past. Mothers plastic polish may get most of it out. ![Thumbs up :thup:](./images/smilies/icon_thumright.gif)

Re: Guage panle
to replace the lens isnt all that hard. you pull the cluster from the truck. then you take out the scxrews seperating the bezel and gauge cluster. the lens will fall out.

Re: Guage panle
You pretty much have to take it out/apart to have any hopes of getting it clean-er. I used toothpaste to clean mine in the past. Not the gritty whitening kind, just regular paste. It cleaned up a bit but like Mancar1 said mine had been cleaned improperly in the past. (ie, wiping the dust off with your fingers, or a rag, thereby scratching the surface. I would like to see someone produce a thin curved piece of glass to take the place of the plastic...
