Is there a pod backlight?

Just bought my first 928 and I need to say....

Does the pod have a backlight? I took her down the driveway for a test at 8pm and realized I have NO idea how fast I'm going. It's completely dark.

Suggestions?

Thanks

Try the brightness adjuster on the left hand side between the wheel and the fog lamp knob.

Welcome, Homer!

Yes, there are lights in the pod, and I'd check the brightness adjuster, (as mentioned)....IF it works! LOL

My adjuster doesn't do squat! But, luckily, my pod lights are "on", and on the brightest setting. I'll eventually take it out, and see if I can't clean it up, and get it working...

Congratulations!

What model year is it?

If the dimmer rheostat is bad, you won't get the dash lights to work. If the ashtray light is working when the headlights are turned on, then most likely the dimmer is bad. If the ashtray light does not work it could be the fuse.
