thats almost as useful as the "bright" switch on newages, which makes the clock, and exterior temp + odometer *slightly* brighter

Didn't even know I had one.

Well that's something to look forward to at the weekend.

Better not play with it too much though. Don't want to break it, not with my cast iron warranty.

^^ its a twisty thing on the left steering wheel stick. i can never decide which i prefer, with bright on you get reflection when its dark and with bright off, you cant see the clock well when its sunny

then there's the headlight aimers (near the spotlight button)

0 = focuses further in the distance (+ dazzles oncoming drivers) or 3 focuses the lights on your tyres and you can't see jack **** infront of you

Sounds like a mod that's been done in Japan.

They like to turn off the dipped headlights when sat at traffic lights (even if just for a few moments). Obviously this mod means you don't have to constantly twist the switch on the steering column whenever you reach a red light.

Never heard of that type of mod before - could be a 1-off!

So instead of a switch by your hands, you now have to use one by your legs?
