LED Gauge question Are these always set on super bright, or can they be dimmed via the factory control? Seems to me that some locations would be kind of annoying at night.

The LEDs won't dim, mine are either on or off.
I picked up an aftermarket dimmer for my Autometers because they were too bright.
Those gauges dim with the stock dimmer switch, but the LEDs in my cluster don't dim.
Maybe LS1_SS could work on something to get these ****'s to dim.
However, I don't think it's possible with the cluster.

you can dim leds with a Pulse Width Modulator... I had a forum asking about this. here's the link.
