Dash Lights Question

[Wakeman22]

As we all probably know that when we use our Nav. Lights the dash lights come on. This is very problematic when trying to see and navigate at night. The glare is unreal and it causes one to loose night vision. My question is: Is there a way to put a switch or dimmer in the light circut so that they can be controled separately? Meaning the ability to turn the dash lights off and leave on the nav lights. I can se so much better without the lights on and it is a whole lot safer. I do not need to see all the gauges at night. Most of the time. Any help will be greatly appreciated....

I have tried the towel however it wants to blow off or fall down and is not too practival. It works but not too well.

Mike will this work for all the dash lights? And where does it hook in. Are any of the lights in the digital gauges LED? Will this work for them? And what about the radio remote light? I have the 2007 24ve. Thanks

I have not used that controller, only knew it as out there.

For the stereo remote, I can help you their: Move the remotes B+ from the NAV side of the switch to the Anchor side of the switch. This way, its only illuminated when you are anchored. Or, move it to its own switch or no switch at all.
