When I first got my Lavida, I was also researching how to adjust the instrument panel lights. In the lighting control area on the left side of the steering wheel, there's a knob with a gear symbol next to the headlight switch - that's the key to adjusting brightness. Remember to turn on the headlights first (either manual or auto mode works), then rotate this knob to see the instrument backlight change. I've tried dimming it slightly during night driving to reduce eye strain, while setting it brighter during daytime for better visibility. Note that the position may vary slightly across different model years, and higher trim levels can also adjust it through the trip computer menu. I recommend adjusting it according to road conditions - this is quite important for long-distance driving. By the way, the ambient lighting actually adjusts simultaneously, creating a coordinated interior that really improves the driving mood.
