I've seen people take their cluster apart and put electrical tape over the bulb from the inside.

I actually had to replace the bulb that lights up the temp guage. You just have to take the plastic part from around the clear part out, remove the clear part, then pull the guage cluster straight out. It's got a big *** plug that it plugs into. From there you can get to the bulbs.

Small strip of electrical tape behind the SES carving did the trick for me
