Dash lights

Hi guys.

A very technical question.

Is there a switch to dim the dash lights?

I read the section in the manual and there is no mention of one.

Also I assume the clock is meant to be illuminated. The manual says it is illuminated when ignition is on and dimmed with the headlights. Guess I need to pull it out and replace the bulb on mine. I never test drove one with it illuminated.

There is no dash lite dimming switch and the clock should be illuminated with the ignition on.

Thanks for the confirmation. Guess I'll just keep my sunglasses on at night

Don't complain. In my County you have to hold a torch to see the instruments at night.

I had a Daihatsu Feroza that drove me mad at night. Went to the wreckers and picked up a dimmer switch, (one of those big rotating thumb wheel types). Cut into the inst panel lights feed wire and then you have a dimmer.

The Oz Spec Disc. didn't have one, but it is shown in the Owner's Handbook though.

I used one from the wreckers (sorry, Auto Dismantlers

) from a KA Fiesta

It didn't last more than 6 months though, & failed. Maybe the current draw is more for the Disco Lights

or it was on the way out when I fitted it.
It's just bridged out for now until I get around to checking further.

You can get a Genuine Parts one,

but you would need to take a Mortgage out on the house.
