REDARC's gauges can be too bright at night, but their brightness can be controlled.
If the vehicle has an earth-side dash dimmer, the gauge dimmer wire can be connected directly to it. If not, REDARC recommends using the optional GA-ELC controller, which adjusts brightness and even colour between day and night settings.
REDARC recommends seeking the support of a qualified auto electrician or technician.

This information is applicable to the following products:
- REDARC gauge range (G52-xx, G52-xxx)
The REDARC G52 series gauges are brilliant, but sometimes at night they can be a little too brilliant and may need to be dimmed.
- If your vehicle has dimmable dash lights with the dimmer in the negative or earth line of the dash lights, in most cases you can simply connect the gauge dimmer wire direct to the dash dimmer and the gauge brightness will follow the dash light brightness.
- If your vehicle does not have an earth side dash dimmer, and you find the backlight too bright at night, REDARC recommend using the optional GA-ELC (Enhanced Lighting Controller). The GA-ELC, triggered by the park lights, can be programmed to set the daytime brightness and night time brightness and even different colours for daytime and night time.
