It's not that the light is in my eye or something. Okay, you guys need to understand. I'm sensitive to light. My eyes HATE it. I'm the person driving with sunglesses even though it's overcast and I should have my lights on. So, ANY light bugs me that is "on". And since that light is CONSTANTLY on (at night), it bothers me. I have the dash dimmed to almost dark. Most people who see my dash, can't even see what the things say.

Therefore, yes, light bothers me. I wouldn't put the colored lights on, cuz it'd bother me. Blinding headlights from HID's, bother me. If I could legally drive with sunglasses at night, I would.

I'm not _____ing about the car and everything, I just wnated to know HOW to turn it off, dim it, or cover it, or remove the bulb.

Take the bezel around the shifter off..and take the radio column off..disconnect the wire harness on the bottom..feel back behind the cubby hole from the back you'll feel a cord going into it..pull on it you'll see 1 single light bulb that looks like this::

But Clear..Pull it out and store it or throw it away..do what U want..

I personally like it..I did my LEDS in my Panels Red and I ordered a Red one to go in there..But anyways thats how U do it!

Voila!!

Maybe I'll do that, and put a colored one in, like a dark blue or something that's not bright, but a bit lit. ugh! lol. thanks!

Dim what? The light dims? Or do you not know what we're talking about?

Yes, the gauge cluster and associated lights all dim. The toggle is on the left side of the cluster.

Um, no. As far as I can tell, it doesn't dim the light in that cubby hole. I've turned it completely off, and the cubby hole light is still on, so I am assuming it's not connected. Or, at least mine isn't.

Oh, I see. I guess I'm mistaken then.

nice but it turns out you actually don't have any idea what they're talking about. Because that dimmer doesn't work with the light they''re mentioning.

It turns out you cant read to well either, as I clearly stated that I must have been mistaken.
