have you tried adjusting the dimmer ****?
Not sure if yours is in the same place but it in normally a wheel on the dash on the left side of the steering wheel.

actually it adjusts the dash lights plus the ones you are having trouble with.
You have a bad ground.
I would add a new ground to the circuit, it is a lot of work to get to the area as you need to get to the wires going to the a/c controls.

Well typically whenever you have a dim circuit it is a bad ground.

Perhaps someone else will give their thoughts on this.

When you adjust the brightness, do some of the lights change brightness?
