07 E63 dash board lighting seems dim

hi all,
excuse the newbie here, but my dash light doesn't seem very bright. i've adjusted the knob(that resets mileage) and it is at the most extreme setting, but i'm wondering if any of the bulbs are out and/or if i can replace them? from initial study, there's still uniform lighting but just not that bright, so it makes me think it's not an single bulb that's out.
thx everyone.
PL

I noticed the same thing when I first bought my 2007 E63, but none of the bulbs seem to be out. I think it is just the standard from back during that time. Maybe there is a way to install better bulbs, but I haven't seen any threads about it.

I have thought the same, but guessed my eyes are getting old Figured I would get used to it. If someone can figure out how to change that bulb, then it should be no issue to change it out with a brighter one thats still dimmable. I am sure there is something out there.
