    Hey everyone I have a 1958 Edsel Pacer and recently I noticed that the dash lights are not bright anymore, including the aftermarket temp gauge light. So I am not sure if the Edsel has a dash light dimmer or not, can't find anything online or on the car. I am pretty sure it's not the electrical system because the headlights are still bright and the car charges the battery fine. Please if anyone has any Edsel know how or info please let me know.
    Thanks in advance fellas!

    The dimmer is located under the dash. Small round knob, kind of cone shaped. It is originally chrome, but may have changed over the years.
    They are usually bad, but try giving it a few turns and see first. It is usually on the right side of the steering wheel close to the ignition lock.
    Email or message me if you need more help.
