No dim switch was turned up!
You can't get bulbs out of the seating do they come with the seating?

The bulbs pull out of the plastic bases and replacements are standard items - Type 504 if I remember right.
I put LEDs in mine but the dimming function doesn't work so well with them.

Not too sure if you can do this with the sierra clocks but on a 3i I had I pulled the blue shroud off.Made them loads brighter

Sure you can do it with them.I vaguely remember having a look when I fitted a digi dash in one.
