Default Survey about lights in cluster

Can anyone take a look at their cluster at night when it is illuminated and tell me if it looks like the bulb behind the cluster where it says "260" for 260 KM is burnt or not as bright as the rest? I've had my cluster replaced and it is looking dark there again. Anyone else notice this problem? Sorry if I didn't describe this correctly but its just that the 2 and the 6 are not as bright as the rest of the numbers and when driving at night it annoys me.

I had my car taken in for this exact same thing when i first got it. I was advised they are all like that, its a design flaw where light doesn't reach the entire 260 reading. They are the same on all my crossfires. As for the red E bar light on the gas gauge; ITS NOT DESIGNED TO LIGHT UP. That's why you have a YELLOW LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THAT ILLUMINATES WHEN THE FUEL REACHES THE RESERVE.

i know its not designed to light up, but then how come the red bar on the water temperature gauge lights up? the red bar on the gas gauge should be part of the illumination also.

This is what mine looks like. Not the best quality of the pix but hope it helps.
Should you need, I'll do better quality.

I know what you are talking about, the red line appears to light sometime on my. If you look at the temp and RPM, they light up. The gas red line should light up when the others do.

It should light up but it wasn't designed to, that's why the yellow light on the left for low fuel comes on.

I just can't understand that there is a design flaw that has never been fixed, its like this is the first year of the cluster ever being made. Its more annoying to me that the 260 doesn't light up, than the red part of my gas gauge.
