It does seem low doesn't it. The "normal" running temperature of the Duratec is, I believe, 92°. Once hot mine is always between 90° and 100°. I think that the fan goes to the faster speed at about 95° and clicks off when the temperature drops below 92° but this is just from memory, I would have to check that.

If the instrument lights that you have are LED they can not be dimmed with a simple rheostat. LED lights are dimmed by turning them on and off at a high frequency, by changing the frequency you can make them brighter or dimmer. The speed is such that the eye doesn't see the fact that the lights are, in reality, flickering but a video camera may show the flickering because of an interference in the frame rate and the LED rate.

To accomplish this trick you would need a special control box. Cars with dimmable LEDs would have such a control in one of the lighting control units.

PS. If they are not LED dash lights it could be the same as our car. In that case the dimmer is a small knob under the dash near the steering wheel.
