It was raining today so I turned on my lights. I noticed that my pretty blue instrument cluster was dim. Granted, during the day it doesn't show up that well, but this was noticably dimmer than usual. But, I thought it could be my eyes playing tricks on me or the light or something, so I went out and tested it tonight in the dark. For some reason my cluster lights have suddenly become more dim. The colors are still ok, it just seems like maybe a backlight bulb went out or something? In any case the cluster lights are not as bright as they should be. I don't know how these things work so, anyone have any ideas?

You do know there is an adjustment beside the light switch...to turn the cluster lights brighter....

Yes, I did know that....although, it didn't occur to me that I might have accidently hit it.

Well, if that's the problem it could be worse... you could have taken it in to your dealer to look at the before thinking of that
