Dim Odometer/radio

[Riley62]

Does anyone know of a way to brighten up the digital odometer and radio displays when the headlights are on? I have the headlight knob turned all the way up, but I can't read the odometer in the daylight.

It is probably going to be a matter of a resistor. Since it is common to 2 different displays I would suspect the headlight switch itself.

Or, it might be you. I don't know how old you are, but speaking for myself, it is a depressingly common occurence for me to walk into a room and try to turn on the lights only to discover they are already on. And this is after converting all my fixtures to LEDs. And I am not even old!

ETA: The other possible "resistor" is a bad ground. If there is a ground connection common to both of those it could be the culprit.
