Default 2002 RSX Type S odometer back light

I just bought a 2002 RSX Type S and the air intake box was broken so i bought a after market short ram intake for it. I disconnected the batter to put the intake in. I got it all together hooked the battery back up everything works fine but when i turn on my head light the odometer dims now... Kind of upsetting.. So I was wondering if anyone knows how to take apart the dash to fix the odometer back light?
Thanks!

you dont need to take the dash apart to pull the odometer out. Go under the steering wheel and there are two screws holding the cluster in. Just pull out those two phillips screws and pull it forward. But those lights are LEDs so you can't just replace them with a bulb from autozone

hey man, I am an HT sponsor and sell LEDs. especially for RSX models. Go check out the links in my sig, I have a few pics in there and at www.facebook.com/LightsOnLEDs and email me at LightsOnLEDs@gmail.com and I will get you set up! Free shipping and plug and play. AND WAY brighter than anything you could get from Auto zone or pep boys and I guarantee my lights for the life of your car!

turn the trip counter thing to the right.. that controls brightness on the odometer.
