I've got an X-Star 2004 with the OEM setup for the Wakeboard Pro in the X-Pod. Since all the gauges have nice red backlighting when running the nav lights, the white backlight of the Wakeboard Pro not only looks horrible, but also ruins my night vision. <BR> <BR>Does anyone know if the backlight intensity can be reduced (and if so, how do you do it), and/or can the backlighting be changed to red? As an alternative, I've considered putting a toggle switch on the dash to be able to turn the backlighting off completely, so if anyone knows which wire controls the backlight this might also be helpful. <BR> <BR>Thanks in advance for any info or help... <BR>

should be able to hook up a potentiometer/variable resistor with the right resistance and power rating to dim it. Email PP and ask them if there is a seperate wire for just the backlighting, i cant remember from my install.

Bob - thanks for the info. It just hit me that I have a spare switch on the dash for a second set of tower lights that I don't have, so maybe I can just wire thru that...

there is no external wire for the backlighting - it's just always on. just put some of that red brake light repair tape over the screen. <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>
