Heater controls illumination - whats yours like?

Well, my heater control knob (the middle one, hot/cold) lights up nice and bright, but the fan speed looks a bit dim, especially the number 1, and the directional controls the same, dim on the right hand side...
Are they all like this? There is only one bulb, but surely it should light up consistantly?
Ta in advance.
Tom.

I always presumed there was 1 bulb in the middle so was not as bright towards the edages...i may be wrong though

well i took the plastis suround off mine to have a look and i found the middle one has bulbs behind it but te others are lit up by two horseshoe shaped pieces of plastic which carry the light around behing the other displays.

This is correct... just thought that something might be out of alignment or something as it looks a bit naff really.
May look into getting a couple of extra small bulbs or something...

Yeh its just one bulb, im not sure what happens if you change the colour of this because the plastic with all the images on is tinted green. I changed the piece of plastic in mine to blue, jus scanned in the original, photoshopped it blue then printed it over itself 3 times onto acetate... it was worth it but still needs work
I also scanned in the original piece of green plastic over the speedo/rev counter and made a blue one
