The left button on my dash controls the brightness of my dashboards lights if that helps, Just keep your finger on it and it should brighten up.

The OP's car is NON plexed, there wont be a button on the left of the instrument cluster Wink

Dash dimmer is down next to the headlamp leveling wheel on non plexed 206's.

Its gonna need a new back light bulb for the display Wink

Nope.

Speedo surround unclips.

One torx screw holds the instrument cluster in.

2 electrical plugs to unclip.

Twist the bulb holder out & replace the bulb Laughing

i think it's a 286 bulb which is easily available on ebay but do i need ones with the holder or not.the write up in the to do section mentions having to turn the bulb to remove but the 286 bulb looks like a simple pull straight out type of bulb.

cgi.ebay.co.uk/286-IND...41562b87dd

and with the holder

cgi.ebay.co.uk/BOX-10-...20b6157c95

or i might be completely wrong and thats not the correct bulb.
