Default dash lights have went dim

Just noticed that the background lights at the dash clocks and even around the centre dials all seem to have got very dim. I def dont think there is a dimming adjuster fitted. What could be the problem?

There is a dimming adjuster, at least on the cluster in my car. There are 2 posts sticking out from the cluster, the one on the left should be able to turn and that turning action will adjust the brightness of the cluster backlighting.

Had read through the manual and it never mentioned about dimming the cluster lighting anywhere, even the bit about what the two buttons control. Anyhow good news.. turned the right hand button and the lights got brighter. Happy days

Is your car right-hand drive?
