all of these are halfway lit, except for the ABS light

Brake (brake fluid sensor) lights up even more when lifted out of res.
Ebrake, lights up more when pulled up.
Coolent level sensor, lights up even more when low on coolent.

if I lift the ebrake handle it lights up even more(2nd pic)... ive never seen this before. halfway lit?

Yeah..... Its probably a problem with the circuit board in the cluster, problems like that are usually a sign of a ground problem.

If your bored you could take it apart and have a look, the problem might be clear. Since the abs light was the brightest I'd start in that area ;)
