Nikon FG viewfinder LEDs dim.

Hey there everybody!
I wanted to ask if anyone that has/uses/used a Nikon FG, has had any problems with the LEDs in the viewfinder for the shutter speed scale getting dim, and hard to see in daylight?
I checked, and changed the batteries, but no change. It's the same in all Modes P,A, Manual. Indoors, not a problem seeing it. Though I do have to use my Left eye to see the scale. Weird huh?
I don't want to have to send it to the closet of No Return, where it's little brother the EM resides after it went twitchy in the shutter speed needle, and an innocent roll film perished to bad exposure.
Thanks for any replies in advance,
Edward

Edward,
It's been a while since I looked at my FG, since it needs seals and I haven't had nice enough weather to take it out on the balcony so I don't smell up the apartment. But I do recall thinking that the LEDs could have been brighter. My biggest problem was seeing the whole view because of my glasses.
