Lights dimming

[jiggy007]

Hey guys...
When I switch my headlights on or fog lights I notice the clock and climate-control lights go dim.. Is there any reason for this..?

check the voltage levels of the battery , it may be the first signs of an issue with the alternator (unless you have a big sound install in the car )

It's the dimmer :) it's meant to dim the air con, stereo and clock when it's turned on so that they aren't too bright at night.

If they dim when the lights are turned on, your car is operating normally.

You know the dimmer knob as a little "click" at the top for Max brightness when the headlights are on?
