Default Dark dash display
My C4 has a bright dash display (speedometer side) and a somewhat dim side (RPM side). Is this a bulb issue? The graphics are correct and fully functional, just not as bright. Easy or difficult fix? Thanks!

Try playing with either the dimmer **** or the dash fuse. Otherwise might be a cluster problem.

If one side is bright and the other side is dim sounds like a burnt out back light globe.

Bulbs. There's like several of them in the cluster and when one goes bad you still get bleed over light from the good ones. Looks dim but not out. Had that problem also but on Fuel Level bars.
