On my old Boxster the dash lights would go from bright to dim when the lights were turned on.

On the the 1998 996 I have just bought the dash lights stay dim all the time.

Any advice
Thank you P

Does the adjuster make any difference? It's one of the stalk buttons in the binnicle I think.

Have you read the owner's manual?

There should be an adjuster, as previously posted.

Tried turning the adjuster, it seems to have no effect.

The lights stay dim all the time with the headlights on or off.

The milage and digital speedo lights stay dim all the time with the headlights on or off.

In sunlight the digital speedo is barely visible.

Mileage and Digital speedo LCDs seem to brighten up when the ignition key is removed

Any advice
Thank you P
