Low light Gauges

My 79 truck gauages are working but the light is very dim. Even when cranked up all the way. Is it possible some one moved the **** to the wrong position and reattached it or do I need to make some repairs to the lighting unit? I'm a beginner when it comes to dash problems so please be gentle!!!
