85D Odometer Lights
How do you adjust the brightness or dimming on odometer/speedometer lights. Most cars have them but I can't figure out how to adjust them.

Twist the reset button for the odometer and this will adjust the brightness.If that doesn't make it bright enough,try a search this subject comes to light (no pun intended) quite often.Bear

Assuming that the twist of the button won't give you any more light, you'll need to remove the instrument cluster and paint the reflectors (which have probably turned to a dull yellow).
There are some great posts on this issues and I've done it two times and the results are pretty good. Don
