Toyota Dash board light dimmer

[AZUM]

Good Day,

My Toyota dash board and LCD screen stereo system is very brightly lit.

Is there a dimmer that i can install to reduce the brightness? Driving during the night gets a little uncomfortable with the whole cabin brightly lit.


And how will the wiring be?


thanks

A simple inline resistor should do the trick. I can't believe that Toyota haven't fitted a dimmer to it? Which model is it?

there should already be one fitted, silly question but do you know what every button, switch and knob does in the car? it will be there it's just finding it.

checked the entire cabin can't see any extra switch and not may switches or buttons in the toyota allex thou its a 2004 year of manufacturer its has standard fittings only.

I might be wrong here, but some of these Toyotas have an internal light sensor which will monitor the brightness level and dim the dashboard lights accordingly!

T9 you may be right but somehow my toyota does not have this feature. I may have to go for the inline resistor if i can get the wiring diagram
