Exclamation bbk White face guage backlight problem

I can't be the only one with this problem.
At night the back lighting is unbearable, you cannot even see any of the numbers on the speedo that are in front of the speedo mechanism(it blocks the light) ,you can see 0mph,then 60-85mph(top) &140mph that's it!! On the Tach it's not as bad but my 88 has a bulb right behind the "yellow zone" and it's blinding. Also in "unleaded fuel only" you see"eaded fuel o".
I took the speedo face back off thinking it was bad but hold a flashlight behind it and all the numbers show up perfectly,so
I put brighter 282 bulbs in and a dimmer 169 behind yellow on tach. stock is 194's.the dimmer bulb helped with the brightness on the tach. but still can't see speedo numbers any better!!
Sorry so long but I can't see why everyone would'nd have this problem yet I never heard any other complants.
Also I don't know anyone else who has them to ask or see theirs.
