Default Speedo brightness

I have searched but the search on here is worthless... Is there a way to chand the brightness level of lighting on the rushmore speedometers? I saw something the other day and did a search but couldn't find it again, everything but, if you put the word "speedometer" in the search you get a ton of things, so I try to narow it down and add brightness and you get a ton more on all bikes. Further try to define with Rushmore and you get everything but lights.

I know you can go into the setup on your infotainment system and change the background colors and I think there may be an adjustment for the brightness as well. Look in your owners manual for the system and it should explain.

There is not an adjustment that I've ever found. I had my LED's changed instead.

I saw a post where a guy "tinted" his gauges and I assume it was with standard window tinting you would put on your car.

If the brightness could be adjusted, I'm sure it would be in the manual somewhere. Did you try asking the dealer?

I agree...I'd like to Speedo brighter as well, but I haven't found a way to adjust it. You can adjust the color and brightness of the Infotainment, but I don't think the actual Speedo is adjustable.

I agree. I also looked and could not find out how to change the brightness.

You are more apt to finding the answer on here than asking a dealer, most things are answered here before the dealer figures it out. And most times the dealer finds out how things work from one of the members. Just my 2 cents.

AFAIK, there's no way to change the brightness other than changing out the LED's.

There was another thread on this subject, but no easy fix there either. One guy changed them to cool blue and they looked fantastic, though!
