Default cluster lighting

i just noticed tonight while driving that i can't see my gas needle. I can read the markings, but the gas needle doesn't light up, and the speedo one is faint. My RPM's are the same brightness, so im thinking a bulb went out? I don't know what the cluster looks like from behind, its that side just one bulb?

It's several bulbs behind on the cluster. Did you try adjusting the light dimming **** first?

no, for the needles there are two bulbs at the top of the cluster, they're the same ones that go in the cig lighter and ash tray, you'll need to replace those ( I would just go ahead and replace both)
