I think this is the norm for the stereo lights to be dimmer on these cars. The reason is the top climate control lights are led, the radio lights are bulbs. I believe it is fixable, but you have to take the stereo face off and desolder the green lights and replace them with led smt lights. I used to do this on my factory stereos to change the lights from pea green to bright blue. I still have about 50 or more of the blue leds and I am thinking of changing all the dash lights to blue. Although Red would look good as well.
Here's a link to some nice bright green ones, It is for 50 so you will have enough to do about 10 stereos lol

Thanks achy, I for one am not a fan of replacing all the lights with LEDs. I have replaced on a few different vehicles the tiny light bulbs that I have picked up at the local Radio Shack.
I also use one of those "blue heat" soldering irons (the ones "as seen on tv"), I love that tool!
I just looked at how to remove the console and all. I will be tackling this job tomorrow night I think.
