I was wondering if anyone elses speedometer seems slightly dim to them. The tach lights up nicely but it seems like the right side of the cluster doesnt light up as bright. I changed the bulbs and everything and it looked exactly the same. Is this just my cluster or is this common in the Contours?

Common issue...

If you pull the guages apart, you'll see why the lighting is so bad.

When I get a new set of guages, I'll play around with lighting.
