Bright Cluster, dim buttons. Any fix to this?

Okay so I came a cross this issue that are at bit annoying. The cluster in this car shines like the freakin sun when adjusted all the way up. So dimming it all the way down solves the problem, but then I loose a bit of this night interior feel if you know what I mean. Cause the lights in buttons and switches get too dimmed it feels like I`m driving my old Fiat Croma again with broken bulbs all over the dash.

Soooo, the question is, is there any way to adjust the cluster and the rest of the interior lightning separately? (And no the ambient lightning is not at part of this question)

SImple answer is no, no control to separate light cluster and button intensity. Unless it's possible via Xentry and a dealer.

Maybe if fully bright is too bright and fully dimmed is too dim just set it somewhere in the middle? I'm no scientist but that seems like a good way to go.

Oh heck no, switches and knobs should only be used at full max or full minimum settings. Anything else could result in catastrophic failure.
