REDARC gauges can be dimmed for night driving. If the vehicle has an earth-side dash dimmer, the gauge dimmer wire can connect directly to it.
If not, the GA-ELC Enhanced Lighting Controller is recommended, allowing users to program separate day and night brightness levels and even different colours.
REDARC recommends seeking the support of a qualified auto electrician or technician.

The REDARC G52 series gauges are especially helpful in all light conditions, especially at night in instances when they 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.
