I have read the same a couple times before. "Couldn't tell the dash lights were on in daylight". Sorry that I don't think to mention or ask questions. The four #158 bulbs behind tinted diffusers in such a large cavity isn't much.
There are ways to make it more like newer models if that's what you like. LED bulbs, even white gauge screens. I soldered a jumper over the dimmer rheostat ( it had died anyway ) so OEM lighting is full on. Good enough for me.
