There is no dimmer switch for the instrument lights on my 2001 206 look.

It looks like the instrument lights are dim plus the sidelights.

Any help please.

They might auto dim depending on lighting conditions.
What does the handbook say?

There is no dim switch so lets assume it has one so where is it located on
the car.
What position will the dim switch fail either or just dim.
Does the dimmer also work on the side lights if they are put on in the
daytime.

The dim switch appears to be an automatic on this car.

If it is where is it located so I can change it.

dim swith on a 206.

No it isn't. The display dims to a preset level when
the headlights are on. There is no adjustment.

I don't know WTF you are on about 'sidelights' though.

Yeah but the person says the sidelights dim with the dash lights??
Chrs - 20 Jul 2007 19:26 GMT
Never heard of that before.is it a old car or new if new take it back
to the dealers and ask them about it..

I have an idea that Engrish is not thir first langwidge and what they
mean by 'sidelights' is actually dashboard lights.

Someone else was on about this a few weeks back. The 206 has a preset
level to dim the dash when the headlights are on. There is no actual
dimmer control. It can be confusing if you don't know.

When putting on the side lights the dash lights are dimming to very faint,
it also appears that the side lights in the headlights is also dim when on
