Blinding blue indicator light

Thanks for all your insights. I seem to remember an article that placed the resister in the wiring coming off of the head light assemblies under the hood (bonnet). Not having to tear apart the dash would be a real plus. But if tearing the dash apart to do it is what I have to do then so be it. I'm after an inconspicuous fix.

A resistor can be added in series with the circuit to avoid having to disassemble the cluster. You could potentially cut into where the signal routes through Connector BA1 under the hood, but it would be easier to add the resistor at the connector entering the cluster. You would cut the gray wire in position 14 and add a resistor between the cut wire. I would start at about 1K Ohms and go up from there to find a desirable brightness.
