Anybody else think their dash lights are too bright?

In the city where there are street lights, it's not too bad but on county roads or dark highways, I think they are too bright. BTW I have the adjuster turned all the way down. On other vehicles I've had, I could turn the dash lights practically off but this is not the case with my Veracruze. Is this the same for everyone else?

Anybody know of a way to make them dimmer?

Thanks,
Johnny

 

Our Ltd lights are just perfect. I have ours cranked full. If I turn them down, they are too dim. (This is driving in a mountain pass with NO exterior lighting other then stars.

If your dash lights are too bright, it might mean you have a problem with too much voltage from the charging system, a potentially disastrous situation. Hopefully it's your imagination, or the rectifier switch.

 

Hi,

I too think the dash board is way too bright. I just bought a new Santa Fe 2009 Limited and there's lights everywhere. That's ok but the dimmer does not dimm low enough. It's too bright for driving at night.

I used to like driving at night but now I find it irritating because of the dash lights. I understand the blue LCD screens work with contrast but I am sure it could be less bright and still have a good enough contrast. Or worst case they could pretty much be turned off and when you need to change something you just turn up the brightness.

I checked the alternator voltage and it seems fine.

There might be a way to add or change a resistor value somewhere to dimm the dash down.
