99-00 Dashboard warning light illumination level?

Post by scot850 »

Need help please!

I am sure there is still a problem with my 00 V70R dashboard warning lights. Don't recall the lights being so dim. Only about 4 or so are bright. The others are hard to see, but can't now recall what the 'normal' should be.

Can some kind person take a picture of their warning lights at POS-II before actually starting the car and post it for me for comparison?

Thanks,

Neil.

Thanks Clemens. Appreciate the offer but would prefer it from the S/V70 if possible. I do recall that they were all the same brightness on the 850's but for some reason my memory of the V/S70's makes me think some were brighter than others, but that may just be my current car. However, the lights are barely visible now while some are still bright which is nuts. No idea where to start looking at this one. Again, it can wait until the winter and the dash comes out.

Had thought about pulling another speedo/dash unit but if I recall they have to be paired with the car. You can't swap with another car or am I wrong with that? Is it just the mileage that will be wrong?

Thanks,

Neil.
