Have you sorted your pics out yet for your electric ssh swap yet?

Is it all done now then?

It's all been done for a couple of weeks, yep.

The dash dimmer niggle isn't sorted (the click over at the end) but I can live without that for now - it's full brightness with headlights off and dimming up/down works fine with headlights on, it just doesn't click over to full brightness with the headlights on. That's fine though because you would never drive like that anyway! I'll sort that at some point in the future...

I don't think the dash lights should be at full brightness with the headlights on anyway, at least mine don't and I have no dimmer system @Wurlycorner?

I wonder what's causing the dimmer click over not to work, that would bug the jobby out of me!

I think that is normal operation, as full brightness at night (i.e. when the lights are on) is too bright.

I'm not saying it's not but it is an option that the car does have if you want to have them blinding you.

They are meant to be able to go up to full brightness with headlights on when you click the dimmer control over the switch at the end of travel. The other instruments do, just the dials don't (although diming control is fine/same as with the other instruments apart from that). You can see that in the video I posted on previous page.
