Clock Fading (noob alert)

Hey guys, got my inside lights working (god damn fuse) anyways, what has come to my attention is that when i turn the dash lights on, or switch one more over so the head lights pop up, light behind the dash clock seems to fade a bit, is this anything to worry about or am I just worrying too much?

Thanks

it's called dimmer. it dims for darkness so it's not so blindingly bright compared to the rest of the dark interior stuff.

Like every car on earth At least your clock still works hehe Mine didn't work for about a year and a few months back I drove the car and it came back on!! Later that day though the oil control rings went bye bye...but the clock worked That was the last drive for me, the car sat and sat for weeks then went into the shop for a TII swap. Almost done

Yes, be glad your clock works. Mine has worked once in the three months I have owned this FC. You will probably learn soon enough FC clocks are gay.
