Consumer Description

The vehicle now has 130K miles on it and the dash instrument lights are getting so dim that I can not see the speedometer on a sunny day. The dealership says the adjustment is all the way up for dash light brightness, but the lights are just not bright enough anymore. This affects all the dash cluster instruments, both the digital speedometer and the analog speedometer.
