Default electronic A/C lights dim

I have a 2000 Vette with 68,000 miles, with dual zone air. the lights in the A/C and heater display are very very dim. the one in the radio however, is perfect. the radio light britens and dims as it should with the control as designed, but the one in the A/C display is always dim. Know what might be causing this? Thanks!

Just did mine this weekend, the fix works great. Be careful when soldering the resistors. If you need help with the soldering let me know.

I fixed it really fast and easy as shown, however, now my button lights do not work. the ones that say off, auto, fan speed, etc. This is the ones that come on when your lights are on, with your dash lights and the ones on the door controls, not the little red/orange lights that show what button you pressed. These work fine. did i break this when i fixed the display, or is this a seperate problem? thanks!
