On my '07 it is the little cone knob inside the right gauge cluster (instrument backlight adjustment).

i cant change my steering wheel dimmer controls either. it's only the dash light intensity that i could. however, ive become very accustomed to the buttons already so im perfectly fine with the rdx. i actually like all these buttons to fiddle with.

I agree the lighting is too low. It's so low that there might as well be no light at all. I got most of the buttons memorized except for the cruise control button, so its something I can live with.

I have 4 cars and to memorize them all is a challenge at best, It's like telling a fighter pilot you can't luminate controls cuz it might interfere with your flying ability but you have to fly several so take your best guess. For me It takes me more time to try to read them so that takes my eyes off the road longer. All im saying is i want a choicethat's all just a choice! ... What would that cost to add? $1 $2? Cars cost 1/5 msrp to build, so a 50k vat cost 10 k to build.

Nice pic...I don't know if there is a connection, but.....
perhaps reducing glare at night is the idea of not having bright lights in the steering wheel of the Acura.
One Saab innovation, inspired by the company's roots in aeronautics, was the 'Black Panel' feature, which extinguished most instrument panel lights at the touch of a button, to eliminate distraction from dash lights during night driving. While active, this feature permitted darkened instruments to re-illuminate themselves when they required driver attention. This feature was later renamed 'Night Panel' in Saab 9-3 and Saab 9-5 models. In the Night Panel version, only the speedometer will be illuminated up to 87 mph/140 km/h, The remainder of the scale will be illuminated if the speed of the car exceeds 84 mph/135 km/h.[3]
