Annoying Overhead LED Light
I like my interior lights at their dimmest when I'm driving at night and the overhead LED light between the map lights annoys me cuz in order to turn it off, you have to dim your lights until the radio display shuts off.
Other than using black tape or shoving a screw driver into that overhead, annoying LED light to break it, are there any other ideas about getting rid of it, covering it up, etc?

A lot of folks don't realize how much the interior lighting can interfere with your vision at night. To me, having the lights even at half their normal brightness is very invasive and distracting at night. At full strength it's like having headlights in my face while driving.

I have a 19 and never noticed it. I'm pretty sensitive to light as well.

It looks like a faint moon lit night kinda light.... maybe 10% of full light led. I wish there was a button to cut off radio screen after dark.. instead if looking through radio function everytime to black out screen..if you lower volume ir change radio station or song the screen lights up again

The challenge of doing it right VS the reckless abandon of Hillbilly Engineering!
You could always try a thin coat of clear acrylic hobby paint. I have used Tamiya clear blue (X-23) over white LED's before with good result. |
