Is there a way of making the dashboard lights any brighter on my surf . On some vehicles there is a dial for adjusting the brightness, anything like that?

The switch in other cars doesn't actually make the lights brighter, it makes them dimmer by dropping the voltage across the bulbs.
The only way to get brighter lights is:
1. clean the bulbs.
2. put brighter bulbs in.
2. is not recommended unless you know it isn't going to catch fire. There's not a lot of space for heat to dissipate back there.
LEDs run cooler.Comment

I took my dash apart to change a lamp, and found all the backlighting lamps had small green covers on them, which were promptly removed, and the dash is MUCH brighter now...
It just does, OK?Comment

So, when you are ready to cut the bonnet, we'll come up, and monitor proceedings. Linda says if you supply me with beer, she'll cut the bonnet
