    could you even read your gauge before the fix, or did it look completely dead? because mine looks similar but worse i don't get anything up on the screen is the film what help diplay the image?

    quite happy to see this as the price of this gauge is not cheap
    Thanks in advance

                Here's a couple links you can try for the film, let me know if you have any luck. My MF gauge went out, 96 XP, but it looks like the silver coated film on the back is deteriorated, not the film on the front of the LCD.

                or
                I cant drive... 55.

                    And the fix is simple..... takes about an hour. you can also pick if you want black on silver or silver on black

                        By the way, what size of polarization film is needed? Is 2" x 2" sufficient? Sorry, I couldn't measure it myself but I am away from town and want to get parts on order to speed up the process.

                          i did mine, i can't remember exact sizes but i would go bigger then that, to be safe i baought like a 12"x12" it was like 12 bux or 20 bux i can't remember, but its worth it when the gauge goes for like $560 around here anyway

                            If you get a size that can cover the whole guage lens( the diameter of the housing) it should work. remember you might need to rotate the film to get the contrast right of the display. it only cost about $10 bucks a sheet.

                              I bought a 2 x 2 inch piece of film and it worked perfect. It really was easy and it saved me lots of $$$$. I would recomend anyone who is experiencing a bad Multi-Function Gauge to try it before buying a new or used one. I was prepared to spend $150 to buy used gauge on Ebay. Glad I waited..
