When I press the brake pedal in my 1996 Saturn SL the instrument cluster lights up and at night it gets brighter when you brake any ideas?

It's a ground fault in one or both of the brake lights. Instead of brake light voltage going across the bulb and to vehicle ground, it's going across the brake light then back across the tail-light and into the tail light/dash light circuit. Check the brake light sockets first. Saturn had some problems with some of their tail light assemblies corroding from too much heat when lights were on for an extended period of time. You might be able to just clean up the connections in the tail light assembly then put it all back together with a little of the special grease that they use for light sockets. If that's not it, check the ground wire and make sure it's getting a good connection.

Why are your speedo fuel lights on your 1987 Honda civic dashboard dim how are they made brighter?
There are at least 7 or 8 lamps in the instrument cluster which provide lighting to the gauges, speedometer and "idiot lights". It's a fair bet that several of them have burned out in a vehicle of that age. You'll probably have to pull the cluster in order to reach them. Some LED versions are available that are both brighter than the original lamps, and will NEVER have to be replaced again for the life of the car. You can also get them in cool colors :)
