Default Problem with the dials?

Hubby's just got home from work late, so it was dark on his drive home. He's told me that in the dark he can't read the dials!

He said the dials themselves are are lit but are very dim. However he can't see any of the needles. This applies to all 4 of the dials.

Before he rips the dash out looking for blown bulbs he just wanted me to ask you lot in the know if this is a known problem or it is bulbs?

It's a MY95 JDM WRX.

Thank you!

If it helps at all the dimmer switch is on the indicator stalk on a MY05. IIRC previous versions had a dimmer switch as well.
