I see that there are two switches for changing the light intensity of the dashboard lights. Do the lights automatically dim when it is dark to the setting you have set.

You have to set it I think, although I've seen in change on its own too.

I tried switching off my headlights when reversing into my driveway in the small hours of the morning, so they don’t shine through the windows across the road.
The instrument lights went to full brightness and completely dazzled me, couldn’t see a damn thing.
What’s the point of that?

• I guess they figure if you are turning off your headlights, then it must be daytime 😄
• you have adjustment to dial down the instrument gauge lighting, try that
• if you are reversing you wouldn't be looking much at your gauges would you?
• have you tried just moving your headlight switch to your parking lights instead of completely off to see if that makes a difference?

May be wrong but I think if the lights are set at full brightness they do not dim automatically. "One click" down in brightness and they auto dim with headlights
