Well, the top one is closer to you.........Don't know what it could be. I have the Autometers as well and if anything, the top may be just a tiny little bit dimmer than the bottom one. Other that switching bulbs around and checking splices and connections, just don't know what to tell you.

Did you daisy chain them together? The current loss in the wire is infintessimally small, but I have had wire with impure copper before oddly enough. Is the wire good? Is it possible one terminal has a bad connection? I presume these are the bulb type, not LED type? My only suggestion is to isolate each gauge and if they are still lighting up funny, check bulbs and for corrosion on connections...

What kind of connectors were used? The cheap ones don't conduct electricity well, and tend to create a bit more resistance than they should. Of course if you wired in parallel the connectors wouldn't make any difference, but I am thinking you wired in series
