Clean all of your bulb and wiring connections. Sometimes cleaning the interior of the housing helps. The bulb covers, if present, often get dark with age also. Colored bulbs are available at some parts stores. The transparent legends also discolor with age.

All bulbs dim with age, replacing them will make your dash brighter.
