You turned on the dimmer switch. It's the thumbwheel next to the DSC switch.

Abandon the car or

Would you not be blue if someone did that to you?

Old thread, I know. But I didn’t want to create a new one.
Anyways, when I roll the dimmer switch I only get the white lights on the dash. Never the red option.
Any ideas?

Interesting problem.
There are a couple of transistors in that control, it may be funked.
Do you have the electrical diagrams?
I can email you a copy, p.m. me if you need.

Have you tried turning your headlights on?
sorry, i have to ask...

i cant say ive ever seen the dimmer go bad, but if the function isnt working with the headlights on then its probably the dimmer

I do not have the electrical diagrams for the car.
And yea, I’ve tried headlights on and off. The dim function works correctly when I roll the knob. I’m very familiar with RX8’s. When the “click” comes from the knob it turns white...right? I hear the click, but it’s always white lighting on the dash.

Did you ever solve this?
