They all do this. I think it's to not blind you at night.

If it's doing it dramatically check that your dimmer switch is all the way up.

Yeh maybe, but it looks so much nicer with it bright hehe, during night that is. I get tempted to drive with my headlights off to stare at the brightness.

It is not the thing you use for the headlights.

Not sure on your car, but on a Left hand drive it's on the very left side above the change compartment. It's a knob that you can turn up or down. It is not the thing you use for the headlights.

When I get off work I'll take a picture of it so you can see it. I'm sure you have one somewhere. It just adjusts the lighting on the inside of the car.
