The other day, in a spontaneous
trip from Melbourne to Sydney,
driving along the lonely freeway
in the wee hours in the morning,
i noticed that as low as much
dash lights were, they dont suit
the pitch black environment.
Not so much the dash it's self,
more so Stereo and GPS, found
myself
covering the stereo up
with a book just so it wasn't a
distraction

Is it not possible to turn off the backlight on the GPS? Perhaps not. |
|
| |
Surely some car stereos are capable of being wired into the dash lighting potentiometer? Perhaps not. |

Some aviation panels have channeled lighting, which isn't back- or integral lighting, but is surface mounted and illuminates the gauges from the front. Maybe that's the answer, but probably goes to far. |

1) No, I meant it goes to Far, Kansas.
2) Ooops. (<- There's your extra "o") |

Seems like a brilliant opportunity for duck tape.
[+], I like driving in the dark too. |

If you don't like the duct tape idea because it will totally obliterate your view and leave a sticky residue, you could also use a custom cut bit of window tinting film (available at most good auto parts stores) which will tone down the display lights when applied to the surface, but still allow you to read them. |
