Dash light brightness level 1999

Does anyone have a 1999 Drivers Manual giving the method and which knob or lever to adjust the dash brightness.

It appears that a "medium bright" has turned into a very "low light" level.
In bright sunshine neither is adequate.

The car was used by another and when it came back it was on low, how do I get it to the previous some-what brighter or better still - full bright - instrument lights?

Thanks.

Someone must have the 1999 drivers manual with instructions on how to change the intensity of the dash lights?

Please.

I've seen them in two brightness' but don't know how they were changed. (I need that secret hand shake...)

Above the tach and to the left is a small knob with a light bulb in it, it is the rheostat that controls the dash light levels.

Didn't do anything, factory dash at full brightness. Yours may just be aging.
