It's no better with the black switch. It's still impossible to see
You don't seem to know how and AirCon in a modern car works.Yeah,
I'm going to drop out of this now. I'm just a dumb chartered engineer who has been working with heat pumps on and off for over 30 years, what do I know.
I will quote/paraphrase ..........
The cooling system works in the same way as a domestic refrigerator.
.............. the gas loses heat and becomes a liquid. The liquid passes through and expansion valve to an evaporator, where it changes from liquid under high pressure to a gas under low pressure. This change is accompanied by a drop in temperature, which cools the evaporator. The cycle repeats ............
Air blown through the evaporator passes to the air distribution unit, where it is mixed with hot air blown through the heater radiator to achieve the desired temperature.
The heating side of the system works in the same way as models without air conditioning.
If the switch has a standard T5 panel light bulb you can get a 2w version vs 1w or if it's a led change it for a high brightness version though this may require quite some work for such a small gain?
One of my very early Accords had a bright ac light great during the day but far too bright at night, the next series of car had a dimmer connected to the side lights.
