There should be a switch to the left of the steering wheel right under the ACD select button.

Edit: Its right under the left drivers side vent.

The real fix is to pull the combination meter assembly (aka the dash gauges), remove the main bulbs and pull the blue condoms. However, since these bulbs are on all of the time (high hours), if you mess with them, they are instantly toast. So, go to the dealer, order new bulbs, remove the condoms and install.

You can always replace the bulbs with LEDs. It will make it a good bit brighter and you wont have to worry about them burning out. There used to be a dude on here that offered them as a set. Not sure if hes still around or still sells them. Maybe someone else can point you in the right direction
