Default '94 Impreza dash lights.

Do the dash lights have a dimmer on them, just got an impreza and the dash lights seem very dim?

Cheers.

On my 93wrx they are quite poor tbh,the warning lights are quite bright though
If it's a UK car they came with a 'Bright' button which i think helped.

The bright button only made the clock brighter


They are pretty dim mate anyway. You can try to improve them by fitting OEM leds in behind the dash. If you do a search on here, you should see quite a few threads

I think they are fixed and it is a green film on the actual dash itself, however I could be wrong.

I replaced all mine in one go, they were all blackened over, so not giving out much light. They are capless wedge bulbs, cheap to buy

Hi mate

yep, as you have discovered the standard speedo back lighting is rubbish

check out a thread i started some time ago, i asked if there was a way of brightening the display with LED's. had some awsome reply's and some great pics to back up thier replys , really is a great mod to do.

cheap mod aswell
just take your time and dont rush

hope this helps
