Oh man I was hopeful rhat would work. my concern is it’s a 2024. I’ve only had it a month and can barely see the gauge sometimes so dark I can’t even see how fast I’m going. I hope LR can fix.

Mine would brighten up all the way if I immediately opened the sunroof, what a crazy software bug..

mine is 2023, if you are in USA file complaint to NHTA or whatever. There's form to fill online.

All, does everyone have tinted windows that are having the problem with the cluster going dim? The dealer is ordering a new cluster and hope that helps. We did notice when we roll down the windows when it goes darker it all of a sudden goes bright. We also found that it is a sensor or software located in the cluster itself. When your cluster goes dim grab a flashlight or use your phone flashlight and shine it on the cluster. It will go bright. In our thinking it has to be in the cluster itself. Hope this helps and I will keep you posted on the cluster replacement.
