[QUOTE="Tofufi, post: 489787, member: 38"] Sounds like someone has got the wiring to your switch wrong. The green dash light should ONLY work on sidelights, and go out on dipped beam. The instrument lighting should work on both sidelights and dipped beam. If rotating the headlamp switch doesn't dim/brighten your dash lights, I'd be checking the illumination lights haven't been connected to the terminal that is meant to power the green light. :) Wiring diagrams can be found here: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/wiringt2.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; [/QUOTE]
