No, I do not think there is any way to "dim" the factory dash lights without some kind of mod.

I think part of the problem here is, most riders answering this so far are riding "Pre - Rushmore" bikes. They don't have the same dash as you do.
You might get different answers in the Rushmore section, but then again I know a lot of riders read both sections.

I don't see any way of dimming the gauge lights on my '15 Limited either.

Default Nice lights
