Dashboard lights too bright

[Difinity]

Now I'm settling in with the car, is there any way to dim the dash/console lights at night. They are too bright for me. Dealer could not help with this one...

Isnt here a little dial on the dash like in the VWs.
Surely a read of the lighting section in the manual will be enlightening LOL

I couldnt see anything like that on the pictures of the driver area of a Fabia on google.
Also, is the OP after the speedometer/tacho section to be dimmed or the centre media/air console section?

I've had a good look on Briskoda, and apparently there is no option on the Fabia for this. I don't have a problem with the brightness, personally, but you'd think at least an option in the settings would be available, if not an actual dial or toggle on the dash.

Nope, only a controller for the headlight level in that position.

Just drove home from Sydney - unable to see the road clearly because the bloody dash is too bright. Dangerous.
According to the Briskoda link, the Fabia 2 doesn't have a dimmer facility. I am now thinking of an auto electrician to install one. Not good for a brand new car though. The rest is mostly great though - just can't bloody see where I'm going...

Have you tried accessing through the radio? My brother and I test drove a Golf6 90TSI (with the RCD310 audio system - same system as the Fabia/Roomster range/Yeti 77TSI/Octavia 90TSI/77TDI) a few weeks ago and when trying to find the Bluetooth set up in the radio it had "screen brightness", perhaps this dims the panel too? Other than that, what a bloody stupid oversight!
