Default Fuel meter backlight problem

Hi, I have got a X reg (2000) Alfa Romeo 156, the backlight of the
fuel meter is very weak, I think perhaps the temprature, clock and fuel
meter is using the same backlight, the bulb moved a bit, so the
backlight of fuel meter is weaker, how can I fix it ?

Regards to everyone

Backlight bulbs are separate, so it might be one has "blackened" ...
you need to take the centre console face off to get to the gauges. Can
I suggest you have a look at the Tips section of www.alfa156.net which
has a good write-up of the process although this was written to fit the
a/c controls .... http://www.alfa156.net/tech/bulbs/consolebulbs.html
.... go down to step 8 then remove the gauge cluster rather than the a/c
controls.
