Compass/Altimeter backlight

[MTNDOG]

With the headlight switch on Auto and when the headlights come on the Compass/Altimeter back light is bright. Once the headlights go off, the back light dims to the point you can barely read the display. It seems backwards. Same if I turn the headlight switch to off, the back light dims. I have not found a way to adjust it.

Too true!

I wonder if we could reconfigure it by connecting the “lights on wire” to the positive wire instead of the light switch.

Lights OFF

Lights ON

Does anyone know how I can remove it so that I can study the wires?

I have to admit that this is a nice idea, because I have indeed to switch my lights on during the day to be able to read it.

I’m late to the game here, but was there ever a fix or adjustment found for the dim-in-the-day / too-bright-at-night compass backlight? Thanks! - Mark
