Seeing the insides of that electronic dimmer gives me an idea how it works but i might be wrong on the exact principle. That said, the chip in there, the LM2901 is a quad op amp i think and i know i've seen the same in other parts of the car.

Stupidly over-complicated!
I'll dig it out from the garage soonest and let you know what it says on da chippie!

Thanks for actually counting the number of cluster illumination bulbs and reminding me there are actually 4!! Bob

PS - enlarging the dimmer innards I see the chip on the pcb is a LM2902N but, can't see those under the heat sink on the metal cover as they are hidden. B
