Consumer Description

THE DASH LIGHTING IS NOT DIMMABLE TO ANY MEANINGFUL EXTENT. ALTHOUGH IT HAS A DIMMING FUNCTION, THIS ONLY OPERATES IN THE VERY BRIGHT END OF THE RANGE. (THAT IS TO SAY EVEN THE DIMMEST SETTING IS EXTREMELY BRIGHT.) NOW WREN I DRIVE AT NIGHT I PLACE A TINTED FILM OVER THE DASHBOARD SO THE BRIGHTNESS DOESN'T INTERFERE WITH BEING ABLE TO SEE THE ROAD. (THIS TINTED FILM IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE, PRE-CUT TO MY VEHICLE, BECAUSE SO MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.) THIS PROBLEM IS ALWAYS PRESENT WHEN DRIVING AFTER DARK.
