Dimming Dashboard lighting doesn't seem to hold

[harwax]

I use dimmer switch to the left of the steering wheel to dim dashboard lighting. I find I can't get it to stay in a lower setting, in a day or two it reverts back to the highest brightness. Any way to make a lower setting more permanent

I noticed this also however it may be tied into the memory function of the seats. Need to experiment a little more to see what is causing this.

You hit the nail on the head Midnightsun...

Mystery solved. Never thought it was tied to driver memory seat settings, but does make sense. Thank you

This should probably go in the "Like" thread ...

... one of the things I like most about our believed new charabancs is that almost every time one of us - FREQUENTLY ME - has a "Peeve" or annoyance over a way the tech on the car works ... it FAR-more-likely-than-not turns out to be a FEATURE not a bug! i.e. when you find explanation in manual or a savvy Forum member explains it, you're like all, "WOW that SO actually makes sense; how cool!"

Anyone found a way to dim the interior lights when opening a door? There is enough light inside these cars at night to film a TV commercial when a door is opened . With a likely 'no' as the answer what lower wattage bulbs can be substituted for the factory solar flares that come with the car and are those lamps tough to get at?

There was a thread here earlier of those who thought there was NOT enough light and were replacing with LED's. I believe they listed the type of bulb.

Thanks Ksoz. I'll do a little sniffing around for that discussion.
