LJ78 dash light dimmer where?

[coldtaco]

Can someone post a pic of the dash light dimmer switch? I can't find it. Thanks.

Don't think they have one...

 

[coldtaco]

So, no dimming of the dash lights? That's gotta suck?

 

[Holdfast]

Just squint. I can barely see mine anyways, or are looking to turn it up?

My 70 had it, the 78 I am using does not have one.

It must be hit or miss ..... My HJ75 has a dimmer switch.

Neither of my HJ75 or HZJ78 troopies had the dimmer, both were poverty packs (STD ARL and STD GEN), maybe its a STD/GX/LX thing or a market thing

The instrument lights are about as bright as the dome light so the ability to dim them has never been an issue.

No dimmer in my 1988 JDM BJ74.

Mine was quite dim when I got it and I looked in vain for the reostat.

I did finally "fix it" when I opened up the cluster and replaced 3 burned bulbs.....

I don't need instruments ..... I travel by sound.

what does an empty radiator sound like?

 

[cruiserdan]

It crackles like a pile of cash burning in the wood stove.

That one involves both hearing and sight ...... Kaboom followed by flames...... Buy a 2L-TE and you will know what I mean.

How is that open window at ~460 knots?

If you lose 70,000 lbs of thrust on one side you won't need an open window to tell you that you are in deep sh*t.

Generally the Australian market had them as a standard option, maybe something to do with our ADR. ( Aust design rules)

My switch looks very similar but is located just to the left of the steering wheel. It's been on full bright for years now. : )

do you mean they're an option or standard issue? As I said my aussie 1988 HJ75 STD didn't have one.
