It might have something to do with temperature. I noticed mine varied in brightness alot this winter. Most of the time it's plenty bright tho.

Have you tried adjusting the Dimmer Brightness **** on the dash to the left of the steering wheel?

Test this at night. Get a flash light and aim at the sensor and it should brighten up. If yes, it's normal. The sensor is located on the driver's side dash. Looks round. GL!

Get the dust off the sensor, it makes a difference.

What? Really.... will do.
I think mine seems dimmer because my eyes are used to it now. When I first got the GS I thought it was pretty bright.
