bright light dash indicator

[Truckin2003]

well i was going to post about this a while back but forgot. So anyway i just wanted to see if anybody else was as annoyed about how bright the light in the dash that indicates your bright lights being on is. i cant even hardly stand to drive with my bright lights on that stupid light is so bright and right in your face. it would be okay if it would dim when you dim the dash lights, but NO cant do that.

 

anyway....

 

P.S. this is on a 2003 2500HD

Couldn't agree with you more.

[Truckin2003]

if it wasnt my work truck i would probably tear into the dash and see if i couldnt remove the bulb somehow or something...anybody got any ideas?

you guys talking abotu the little blue symbol? its not that bad, i have the same generation, im assuming the light is the same, but i guess not judging by what ya'll are saying

[M J]

haha whoops just caught hte part about being 2002 HD....duct tape works wonders

[Truckin2003]

yeah ive resorted to sticking things over it before. you know, like when its real late at night and your driving home, and you a little tired. its just hard on the ol' eyeballs!

 

but anyway....

does it help to turn down your dash lights? technically, you see better at night if the lighting inside the veh is as dim as you can stand it.

Nope, it doesn't dim with the other dash lights.

 

And I agree that it's extremely annoying. It's bright enough to throw off my night vision, especially on extremely dark nights when the moon isn't out.

there was a TSB that stated the brightness could be reduced with a Tech II scan tool

I'm sure it is that bright for a reason like to remind you that your brights are on for safety reasons. You guys are probably the same guys that dont turn them off when another car is coming..LOL But I could see how it could be pretty annoying.

[Truckin2003]

why do you have to go making accusations like that? as a matter of fact im not one of those guys. i know thats why the light is bright i was just stating that its annoying.
