Default Speedo and tach wayyy to dim

Dash lights too dim. Just a week old on my 2022 LRDefender SE400. Got most of the stuff figured out. Just got home this evening and the dash light (2 pod) is too dim. Is there a way to adjust the dash lights? The lighting on the center screen is up all the way. Separate ****?

Sounds like you have the analog dash.

There is a brightness adjust **** below the parking brake on all. Find more info on controls here.

Press it and it pops out. Turn the dial to the right. That might do the trick.

Is it just me or is the search function on the iGuide a serious PITA? I'm lucky and have an owner's manual in the glovebox. I seriously think that there is more information and an easier indexing in the "good old fashioned" paper version's index. Someone seriously needs to talk to the "content is king" folks who created the online/app to tell them that content may be king, but "search is God". They are decidedly old school in their web chops. So bad that I'd rather go paper.

Ok, morning rant about JLR cutting corners is over. Now time for some coffee....

@Defenderphil - Here's the iGuide if you want a Link. Or grab a REAL one on e-bay. Go quick because I'm sure that at $60, this will go to the first person who reads this post! Link.

I’m in agreement with that. I have tried everything but still feel that they could be a bit brighter at night. Seems like it has something to do with a light sensor. During the day it is quite bright to make it visible, but once dusk hits, it dims down on its own. Too dim, if you ask me. And no way to increase the brightness.
