I have a Blitz BZE10A Half-DIN 10 Band EQ it proforms great but the only thing is that when it gets dark outside the LEDs that light up the controls shine in my face. Not so much to where i can't see but just enouth to be like argh. Lol Moving it is out of the question i have a picture to show where its mounted.

you'll have to cover over them. led's are just about either on or off. drop the voltage a few tenth's, they'll only dim slightly. drop some more, it will go out. not like an incandecent that you can dim by lowering the voltage.

you COULD dim them, enough that you'd notice, but it would involve pulling the unit apart, and I've found, that some LEDS (I had green ones) with lower current, actually glow yellow... hmm...

anyway, a cover would be the easiest option [Smile]
