| Description of the problem | Digital dash does not dim sufficiently at night. The dash is so bright that the reflected light from the dash bounces off the driver and back on the windshield which causes a glare that makes it difficult to see through the windshield. I have placed a dark film over the display for night driving after a close call at a intersection in arizona. Stopped at a four way stop with two lanes in all direction and very little outside street lighting. As i made a left turn the glare completely blocked the lanes i was turning into. I narrowly missed a light pole and ran over a lane divider which i could not see. Luckily no damage but i did not take the motorhome out at night again till i placed darkening film over the screen. |
