A4 Trip Computer lights fade

[MXHOWES at aol.com]

Picked up a new (to me) 1998 A4 Avant, There are a few issues to sort  out, I 
will deal with them one at a time.
 
Problem ...... Trip computer lights fade after driving for awhile. When you  
first turn on the key (after the car has been sitting overnight) all the  dash 
warning lights and trip computer come on as they should, but after driving  
for 10 or 15 minutes the trip computer lights start to fade to the point you 
can  barely read them, this is only on the trip display, all other dash lights  
work and odometer/ trip mileage shine bright. Looks like some sort of  voltage 
regulator or stabilizer problem with only the trip computer display. Has  
anybody else had & fixed this problem?
 
Thanks in advance,
Jim
