Default Dash Dimmer switch Dims Climate control, and defrost/foglight switch but not cluster?? Why?

I'm installing my SiR interior components and when I fiddle with the dash dimmer switch and my deforst/foglight switch and climate control both dim but the cluster is completely uneffected. Anyone have any ideas? Trouble shooting? What to look for? Thanks in advance.

i'm not quit certain, but in order to dim your clusters brightness etc. you have to swap something out from your ex/si clusters over to your sir clusters...

That sucks!!!!!!!! Mine is like sooo faint. Especially on the fuel level meter, its so hard to read at night. Why wouldn't it be able to fade?!? That blows.

I'm using my USDM plugs in the SiR cluster (the 2 big grey plugs) I can't think of what else could be swapped?

you might want to check your bulbs to see if you have one out. it shouldn't be that hard to see at night. I can see mine just fine at night.
