Bought a new car stereo but the display is painfully bright at night. Wondering if spraying this on some of the buttons will help dim those lights??

I wouldn't recommend it. There should be a parameter in your stereo's settings to dim the brightness of the screen so check your owners manual.

This stuff really isn't meant for that, this stuff is meant for turn signals, tail lights ect and for that it works great!If you used this on the stereo buttons it may black them out completely so I would advise against it. Plus it would make the buttons look totally black when the stereo is off.

I haven't had any problem with mine. I push the button - get bright - push again - it dims (not a whole lot). Don't get a flasher - maybe there's another button.

I haven't found a dimmer switch on the radio. It was way too distracting for me until I took the time to pick a color scheme and take it out of demo mode. I drive 100+ miles a week, and if I could dim the display, I probably would, on occasion. In my buick, the location is low enough that it doesn't bother me.

I ran my wires straight to the stereo power wire and they've worked great. I have a switch on my console that powers up the radio. When that switch is turned on, the speakers are lit up regardless of whether the radio is on or not. They look pretty cool at sunset and I'm sure they would look awesome at night. The speakers themselves sound great. Good luck.

I believe you are referring to: Lutron Diva Magnetic Low-Voltage Dimmer. Having wired home and built my own stereo from components I will say "YES". This leaves you the controller for changing colors. (just remember if it "does not come on" with the installed switch.....then someone...has turned the lights"off" from the remote.) AND: the remote may not respond while you are dimmed on the wall switch as you are also reducing the receiver on the led cable. It most likely WILL NOT respond when dimmed. I have a photo of what I did and will try to upload it after this is posted (No place for a photo here with this respond) I used poster putty to mount my controller on the wall against a door sill.

Dan:I am not sure if I understand your question. can the light be dimmed?If you mean the display, if I recall, the display automatically dims for evening driving.Did this answer your question?Tom

They would be fine for that, except they are too bright at night to be on a dash board. I don't think there is any way to dim them without affecting the voltage reading.

No the display will not dim the only thing you can manipulate is the amount of time it stays on

NO!!! and it is annoying! I spray painted over the front edge where only the lights blip out the side. They will blind you! Does NOT go with the music either.

I wired mine to the dashboard light circuit, which has a dimmer. I am using the same ground as that circuit as well. Dimming the dashboard lights does dim the LED kit too.

There is a very similar looking model from Skylink that has dimming functions. Maybe yours is dimmed. The Dimmable model instructions might tell you how to do that.

In an earlier reply I stated that this switch does not dim LED bulbs. As it turns out I just didn't hold the button down long enough. It's not the best dimmer around, but it is reasonably acceptable.

To answer regarding brightness.. The "blue" circle n fw/rw buttons you see is only what will be lit up. It will show about as much as you see it! I think its enough to see in dark.. Its also going to be next to/close to you on your dash board (left of stereo right of steering wheel)So its easy access!

You can't. That light is the indication that it is on. The best suggestion I've seen to help with this issue is to put tape and or paper over it so that it's not so bright. You COULD probably also paint it, it seems to be a closed system.

All it does is dims the screen a tad bit, just brighten it to counter it. It'll be like nothing on there once you use it long enough.

Yes there is. hit the function key then I believe it's f11 will dim it and eventually turn in off. just spam it till it goes off

I am not sure about that? but what I do for a Bluetooth speaker that my wife uses at night is take a black marker and coat the blue light a few times and that cuts it down a lot. Or take a very small piece of electrical tape and you should be good to go? Just some ideas
