Default Can You Adjust Illumination on JDM Guage Clusters?

It seems you cannot adjust the illumination/brightness of the top two bulbs of the CTR and EK4 SiR guage clusters? Is that correct?

There is no dimmer switch on JDM Civics, so no.

If this is bothersome to you, there is an outside chance you can swap the PCBs on the back.

+ Canada

+ NZ and Australia, too.

+ Some other smaller markets, probably.

Not Europe, though.

Useless feature, IMO.

Oh really? You would think being JDM, it would have all the options. I have no clue on Electronics. I was just making sure it wasn't just my cluster not dimming.

Does your car have the capabilities to dim? If so you can mod it.

Yes, my car does. That is why I was asking. My old cluster can dim, so I was wondering why my JDM one doesn't.
