Default Interior lights dim question.

Some of the lights on some of my controls are dimmer than they should be. The display on my AC unit, gauge faces, and HUD unit have some area where the lighting is dimmer than it should be. Does that mean I need to replace the part to get the correct lighting?

No, it means you need to break out a soldering iron and some patience and get ready to flow some solder. This is a common failure and there's a thread on here that has the instructions on how to do it and what to solder. A relatively easy fix. I'll see if I can find the thread unless someone beats me to it. DeeGee probably will...
