    Lightbulb Mps3 dash lights hard to read !!!!

    Its always annoyed me that with the parking lights /foglights on during the day you cannot read the speedo almost having to guess the speed you are travelling at .When I fist purchased the car I complaned about it and was told by the dealership that I would just have to put up with it ,nothing could be done about it .

    Thanks to LILZLR he has discovered that if you press the dimmer button in while the lights are on the dash lights revert back to day mode .Is this Mazda's best kept secret or am I the only dummie that's put up with this for the last 3 years

    Thats is embarrasing for the dealer to have told you this.

    Next time you buy a car, do what I do and press everything you think will "click" and see what happens...,hopefully the car isnt equipped with ejection seats!

    Yep, I knew that. Another trick is on the sports model with the headlight washers... When headlights are on press the windscreen washer switch twice quickly and the headlight washers will wash the headlights twice with a few seconds delay. Fun to show off to your friends!
