Should not there be light behind the numbers?

Yes, and I would suggest trying to find another panel with the numbers correctly shown.
That might be hard to do, as you have to find one with the correct color of your existing dash.
I spent two days last year removing the paint that the PO had gone over the numbers with.
It was a real pita, but they came out great.
