My speedometer and rpm gauge, or whatever you want to call it, have the orange light in most spots. but there are 2 spots where it is pretty dark. the pictures below arent very good but anyway, let me know if theres some easy fix for this other than tearing out my whole dash and replacing a bulb or somehting. the next question is what is the thing in the 1st picture below?

i dont really feel like going through that whole procedure, it seems really complicated for such a small thing as changing a bulb. the stealer said they would charge me for 2 hours of work for having to pull apart the dash...wtf! does anyone know what that first picture is?
