Great note. I think of the dash lights as a tail-light fuse indicator.*
A dim light also reduces my wife's awareness of things like speed -- a
good thing as she tends to comment when I go "too fast" AND "too slow."
In the TR4, with wind in her hair at night, how will she know if I'm cruising
at 30 in a 35 -- or 80 in a 65*. <g>
Of course, with the wandering speedo, how am I to know either?
*this indicator reminded me that I need a fusebox cover, BTW.
