OK, clear now. I also tested the voltage at the dimmer in the 87, that the car which dims the least. With Battery power only, I got 11V at the lowest and 12.1V with the dimmer full open. On this car is not much difference between low and high.

I got a 250 Ohm, 5W dimmer and connected it between the switch and the cable to the instrument lights. With the light switch dimmer full open I can now dim the LED's from complete off to bright, with a nice range.

Here is a video with the additional dimmer.



Cheers
Engelbert
