On the center console, in front of your shifter/gear selector is the rheostat to control the brightness of the binnacle lights. Try rotating the knob to see if that will brighten the lights. If not, you might have a bad dimmer switch. Since I always keep the lamps at their brightest, I bypassed the dimmer, and hard wired everything together. While the lights are not blinding, the are brighter, and much clearer. -Robert vin 6585 --- In dmcnews@xxxx, RJRavalli@xxxx wrote: > Ever since I bought my D about 6 months ago, I noticed that the > speedometer consol's light seemed strangely dim.
