Dash lights

How do I dim the bright light indicator light. Besides putting tape across it. It's to bright for me riding at night, He!! I couldn't see a deer if it ran out in front of me, which is a problem in Iowa.

I have the same problem. It is exceptionally bright.
I'm thinking of cutting a small piece of window tint and it placing over the "Bright" lens to see if that helps.

You can change the bulb.

As for the deer, you might try the deer whistles.....they come in black or you can find them in chrome, if you look for them.
