I was driving yesterday and noticed that the backlight on both the tachometer and speedometer (pictured here) is inconsistent. It’s almost as if I have a light out behind the dash, but I don’t - I turned the truck on last night and everything seemed fine. It’s only noticeable during the day. Almost like the light is drowned out by daylight the further it gets from the source.....

Anyway, I’m rambling, but I was curious if anyone else has this, see picture below, hard to capture but 50-80mph are way brighter than the lower or higher end of speedo - same goes for tach with 3-5. 2019 limited.

Yeah, it’s how they are (or at least a majority of them). There was a thread about this a while back. Mine’s the same but it doesn’t bother me as I can barely see it.
 
Good to know it’s not just me. I’m OCD about stuff like that so I’m glad it’s not a wiring/lighting issue
