During the pre flight of the aircraft the pilot noted that the gear position indicator lights were dim. He departed from kbuy and flew to ktta. During his pattern he stated that he completed his before landing check, again noting that the gear position indicator lights were dim. He continued on the approach. During the flair he heard a scrapping noise and decided to execute a go around. He believes that he checked the gear handle and verified that it was in the down position. He then put the gear up and noted that the plane felt sluggish but otherwise fine. He returned to kbuy and in the pattern again noted the gear position indicator lights were dim so he exited the pattern and performed the emergency gear extension checklist. No change. He decided to fly to gso to have the tower visually verify that the gear was down. Gso informed him that it appeared down. He returned to kbuy with the gear down and landed with no incident. Upon exiting the aircraft he noted that the step was missing and that the prop blades were bent.
