Instrument panel backlighting problem

I just noticed this anomaly when I went to my car this morning!
Anyone know what might be causing the uneven backlighting?

Most likely you will have to change ambient light that lightens that part of the panel, it could be that the right side is pushed in or bend on that part that would resoult in as if more light is applied

Anyone else had this problem? I find it hard to believe that the right side of the panel was spontaneously squeezed!!!

Is your vehicle still under warranty? If so let them diagnose it and when you get the fix post the results here.

If you are going to look into it your self you will have to take out the instrument clutser. Just take it out and check and se if it is the blub or something else
