have you taken a look at the dimmer switch next to the VDC button and trunk release? I would start there.

yah, I looked at it. It's the needle itself. If I hit the cluster the needle brightens up but dims like 3 mins later

I have the same problem now...

It seems that there are two layers of illuminant on the needle, during the daytime both the illuminants are on; when you turn on the low beam at night, one of the needle illuminant will be off so it looks dimmed out.

Now only on layer of my needle illuminant is working...

Anyone has any suggestion?

Thx

It's a tiny surface mount LED that lights the cluster.

basically, soldering is going to be required, and i have no idea what the specs of the SMD are.

Someone's basically going to need to dissect their cluster to come up with an answer to this
