How to remove dry-erase marker markings

I took apart my cluster guages in my 98 camry to change some of the bulbs that were burnt ou in the back. My little brother was there and while I went to get something from the house, he drew on the white #'s on the guages with a dry-erase marker. It looks like crap now and I need something to clean it off. I've tried the target™ Vroom orange APC with a glass MF on it but it didn't come off. I tried bleach, but didn't work. I've even tried a little bit of Castrol super clean undiluted but it still didn't come off.

I'm losing hope now. My only hope is that maybe Mr. clean magic eraser can do it since even CSC couldn't.. It's just dry erase marker, I don't know why its not coming off

Please help me, my guages look like crap now. All ideas are most appreciated

Rubbing alcohol?

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

Use goof-off - it will burn through the plastic if your not careful so use it sparingly, on a swab or cloth. Try alcohol first though, goof-off is nasty stuff sometimes. Worst case scenario hit a junkyard for some stock replacements or buy some indiglo/white ones... $30 tops inc. shipping (adding the indiglo ones on would be easier than replacing the stock ones, IMO). Good luck .
