Vigo Screen Brightness

Post by Nick S »

Hello Hilux Mense.

On my previous Vigo. I had the option to turn the brightness up on the screen when it dimmed as I turned the headlights on. I now have a Legend 45 due to me redistributing the last one which I drive with my lights on all the time. Only now during the day I cannot see whats happening on the screen. Any suggestions?

aaaaanddddd go...........

My thoughts initially too. But that's for lights etc.... The second you turn your headlights on the screen dims.... Ok at night. not too great during the day.

There is a wire to the system that senses when the lights are switched on which causes the headlight to dim. If you can identify it you can always fit a switch to break the line when you do not want it dimmed.

Or don't drive with your lights on? :thumbup:
