easy, replace the bulbs. there are 2 (or is it 3) bulbs that backlight the cluster. Since the evos cluster is lit all the time they burn out more often than most other cars.

What if just the light behind the odometer is out? All of my other gauge lights work fine but the odometer one doesn't light up anymore.. Is it a smaller bulb or something?

Just replace one if you want, but you'll end up having to replace the others eventually...kill 3 birds with 1 stone type thing...
