Some stereo display lighting, like that on stock 240 stereos, brighten and dim with a turn of the dimmer to the left of the dash head.

I've seen some of the new (new like in the last 1.5 decades) auto stereo LCD displays (forget makes and models) that do dim with user configured input. Some of those LCD displays are so crazy bright the entire auto interior is like nighttime car chase from an 80s movie, save for the brilliance of these brilliant LCD illuminating displays.

I've collected some of the better in-dash Volvo branded (Alpine, usually, I guess) dash heads. Some of these do have an input to the factory harness that dims and brightens when you vary the dash brightness. I'm going to put these in as I live in a town where auto stereo theft is commonplace.

Hope that hepkats.
