Instrument panel brightness fading

Has anyone out there noticed that their stock gauges are fading? Mine ('01) don't seem to get as bright as they used to; but I'm not sure.

I hope everyone realizes that I was just kidding. Even with the dimmer at max, the gauges still seem to be darker than they used to be.

Time for an eye exam

...couldn't resist


...I'm sure you can change the bulbs in there. Are the other lights dimmer as well (the A/C controls, etc...). Make sure it's not all related.

Hey, if you do change out the bulbs, see what REAL indiglo would be to put in there - maybe I can finally match my Lunars.

Hmm...

I don't think there are bulbs.... it does say they are electro-luminescent.
