theres 2 bulbs that backlight the cluster.
maybe one is on its way out?

The bulbs themselves are in orange sockets. Over time the can get burnt or melted or dirty. This happened on the tech side of my cluster. I replaced the bulb with an amber colored one and fixed it.

One bulb might be higher wattage then the other.

One of these bulbs is not like the other.

Yeah, even with same wattage bulbs sometimes the bulb gets darkened over time. Pull the cluster and replace both with new and you should be good.
