Ok, not sure this will help at all and I actually didn't drive my yaris today to check but this is true in most cars anyway. (it's on my corolla at least)
there is a dimmer switch on the left hand side that may have gotten turned all the way up and thus you aren't seeing a difference. you may want to just check to see if that dimmer switch got adjusted before really digging in too deep. (I wish I had driven my yaris today) |

The vitz does not have a dimmer rheostat, like our USDM Yaris do.
To change the dimming level: Press the odometer mode switch from Odometer to Trip A to Trip B to Dimmer Level Hold the odometer mode/reset switch in for more than one second to change the level. When the battery is disconnected the cluster automatically goes back to 100% brightness mode.
