dim

[Jshlafer]

The dash light on my 2011 Hoe is to bright.
Even dimmed down it is still 2 bright.
At the dimmest setting it is still like 60%.
How can I get it to dim more?
I tried tinting the dash but I couldn't see the gauges in the
day with sunglasses,
and frankly speaking at night tinted on the dimmest setting, it was still 2 bright...
My last car I could dim just like a house light... 100% - 0%

change them out to LED and put in a resistor, to dim them down to what you want, when your OEM dimmer knob is at say 75%.

I dont have the skills for that. I was hoping someone would say I have a faulty dimmer knob...

ezdarr...any chance you could recco a resistor? I might have someone to do it...

yea on my nbs I had 0%-100% and in the nnbs it doesn't go all the way down... so unfortunately I don't think you have a faulty dimmer knob... I personally like them bright though.

have no idea o resistor value. Im shure theres someone here that will tho.

That would be an impossible since the gauges are different shape and different plug.
