I dont know if anyone else have noticed, but my gauge is too dull at night, so i have to turn the thing to make it brighter as if it is daytime but then it's too bright. is it just me?

 

what are you trying to say?

 

LoL, sorry, dunno what i was typing. My "instrument panel" (gauges) is not bright enough for me at night, seems kinda dull to me. Is it just my car or are there people who also think that the gauges are too dull at night?

 

I leave my gauges at the brightest setting for day and night.

 

Is it because the default setting is not bright enough at night?

 

Nope.....The setting under full bright is still pretty bright in my tsx.

 

At night the brightest setting is too bright for me, so I adjust it down. It's real bright, I find it hard to beleive that anybody would have trouble seeing it.

 

when u say the "brightest" setting, is that the one that makes a beep when u set it?

 

yes

 

what about the one RIGHT before it, doesn't it seem kinda dull to u?

 

I like that one. Sometimes I even put it dimmer, but usually on there. If I turn on my lights when it's light out (raining or something) then I need to bump the brightness back up to the oen that beeps, or else it's hard to read.

 

The lighting for daytime and nightime can be independently set. Set one with the headlights off and the other with headlights/parking lights on.

Having it at max brightness when the headlights are on is way too intense. Either there is something wrong with your panel our you may have some serious night blindness.

 

I'm not saying i can't see at night without the brightest setting, i'm saying it isn't as bright as i want it to be, and the setting with the beep, i agree is too bright at night.

 

I know the day/night settings can be adjusted, but, it's not day/night, it's headlights on/off, so if you turn your lights on during the day, you get the night settings

 

I find headlights-on setting 5 (it's shown in the odometer) sufficiently bright, and setting 6 is retina-burn at night (I think that's the full headlights-off setting). That being said, it would be nice if there were a few more steps between settings 5 and 6.

 

man that is crazy, I dont put mine above 3, I cant stand the light, I wish we even had a "night panel" like saab where most of the panel shuts off and you only see the necessities.

 

YESS I AGREE!

yeah, I know and I do that sometimes, I just wish it would turn of the lighted controls and some of the gauges, like this:

 

I haven't seen your gauge.

 

I think they should have put a daytime sensor into the vehicle
because I hate to keep resetting my dash light configuration
if it's rainy during the day and I have my lights on.
Actually I keep the dash around 3-4 at night since it becomes
blinding near it's top setting.
When I first get into the car at night the dash blinds me until
I put the lights on. It's probably not as bad if you are parked
under a street light but when your eyes are night adjusted...
