I know I asked about this a little while back but I'm just refreshing my
request to see if anyone has any experience with replacing the
speedometer/odometer assembly. For some reason the bulbs in the back of the
dash have caused a burn to appear on the odometer and speedometer face. My
Sonata is a 2001 GL 4cyl and it has a mechanical odometer (not digital). In
Canada we only have a 3 year warranty so I'd like to do the repair myself
since it is a lease and I'm sure the leasing company will blame me for it.

Any info would be appreciated.

You could probably get a used speedometer, take your speedometer out of the
cluster, gently pull the needles off both, and swap the faces. I'd try
this with the used one first to see whether it will come off.
