Hey
Just having a problem with the blue dash mod... When the head lights are off, the clock and the display showing km's travelled glow max red which they should do... When the head lights are turned on for normal night driving, they dim down while the cluster is lit up. Any idea of how to fix this problem? |

Yeah I'm pretty sure its supposed to do that, does the same thing in the EF here, I guess its because its brighter during day so you can see it easier and it dims because its night time and it would be easy to see anyway.

They're supposed to do that mate, otherwise they blind you at night time.

I've had a similar situation with my digital speedo where it, and all the other lights dims where the lights are on. I know it's meant to do this, but if I had my lights on during the day, everything would become difficult to see. So I adjusted the brightness of the interior lights with the little switch on the side of the headlight switch. I noticed if you adjust it while the lights are on, it only adjusts the lights-on brightness. Now it hardly dims when the lights are on but I don't have any problems with it blinding me.

hmm I've tried all that adjusting brightness, even with it max it is still fairly low, not as bright as when the lights are off which is the brightness I want it to be
 I might have to try a superbright LED from somewhere |
