I have had my Fabia vrs mk2 since new for 5 years and for the life of me I cannot find a way to dim down the dash particularly whilst driving at night. In my vrs mk1 there was a roller wheel to the right of the steering wheel to dim the dash but nothing on mk 2, any help out there please, I know its been 5 years but whilst driving the other night I realised why I was getting blinded at night, the feckin dash its to bright.

Great cheers,

too much ice for the past fortnight and looking forward to the rain a thaw tomorrow to get biking next week hopefully. 

 

Really missing having a Twincharger.  Real fun when i get a shot of one.

Really enjoyed mine for 5 years and gonna keep it for a while yet, but this dash dim is doing my head in. Aye bit of a thaw on tomorrow starting on the beautiful west coast.

You can’t dim it on the mk2

Gathered that AMD87 it is feckin annoying not being able to as it was a feature on my Mk1.

If you were really determined, you could increase the value of the resistor in series with each of the relevant LEDs on the cluster PCB. Or there might be a simpler, more elegant way of achieving the same effect, if anyone has investigated the control circuitry?.

@hutchysrs50, have you done anything with mk2 cluster lighting?

 

Right over the top of my head Wino.....

Hey Pete, I’ve changed a few colours and displays but nothing relating to brightness.

 

Its a problem I’ve read for a few years now, I’m sure I can knock somthing up for night driving though
