Noticed my AC/heat controls are barely lit when driving at night with lights on. Would this be a fuse?

You might have a bulb or 2 burned out. This will give the appearnace of it being dimmer. Also might just be time to replace some.

Very easy, you can order a new set of three bulbs in sockets, which are oem, from Amazon for about $11.00. Pull center dash panel out, you may have two screws above the drink holder in the center dash panel, then lay it down, you will be able to see the three sockets in the back of the AC control housing. I used needle nose pliers to turn the sockets counter clockwise 1/4 turn, reverse when installing the new sockets. Raise the center dash panel up, turn on your parking lights to make sure the lights are working, then reinstall. You will be amazed at the amount of light you now have, especially at night.
