#1: 2001 206 gti clock and radio display dim when lights on Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Sun Jan 08, 2012 6:58 pm ---- It's fine when lights off but when I put my lights on I cannot see display unless it is pitch black outside, if it's just getting low light outside so I turn on my side lights the display is so dim I can't read it.
Any ideas?

You haven't changed the bulbs behind the displays or anything have you?

It's on full but still can't read it unless completely dark outside

Is the dimmer wheel working correctly on the rest of the dash / instrument cluster backlights?

It doesn't dim or brighten the radio display or climate control
