Speedo/Tach Lights

[AFTER U]

How bright are your speedo/tach lights on the dash? Mine are very dim at night. Nothing I do seems to change the brightness. Panel dimmer affects all the other dash lights, just not the speedo and tach. Not totally dark, just very dim. Can someone snap a pic of theirs at full brightness at night when they get a chance?

That seems strange to me. From what I can remember, that panel dimmer switch changes the brightness of everything. Mine are VERY bright at the full brightness setting. I will confirm tonight to be sure. Just curious, what color are you running on the gauges, just for reference.

Maybe you can try to post a pic. It was a little hard to get the camera to show what I wanted, but, in person it is a very discernible difference. As in, full brightness is a little to bright at night. Anyways here are my pics. First is lowest setting, second is highest setting (I realize it doesn't look very different).

Wow, that answers my question. That's nowhere near what mine look like.
I think the only light on mine are what's bleeding thru from the other dash lights. I'll get a shot tonite. I thought I had a brain fart and was doing something stupid, but I went thru the manual pretty good on the custom light feature. Good news is shes still under warrantee. You have been most helpful sir! :cheers:

This is minimum and maximum on the dimmer.

Could just be our cameras being different in the light ya know. Know anyone else with an S550 that you could look at at night and compare? That would probably be the best way.
