I preface these questions with a warning that I am practically and technically inept so please assume you are dealing with an indiot throughout.

From my previous postings, you may have seen that I am very happy with my ARP4 but there are a couple of issues on which I would welcome the advice of TM members.

The first is the dashboard switchgear. This is not illuminated so you are left scrabbling around in the dark to find the right switch. Given the proximity of the ignition switch to the heated screen, that is not just inconvenient but actually dangerous.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could have done (I would not attempt anything myself) to improve this and provide some subtle illumination?

My car has driving/spot lights fitted. I know there was mixed opinion on the site as to the look of these but I like how they look. However, I am completely ignorant as to the correct use of the lights. Should they be turned off when there is oncoming traffic or is it acceptable for them to be on? If they need to be turned off, then one ends up either having lights on full beam or having the driving lights on because driving in country lanes, it is too difficult to both dip the headlights and find the switch to turn off the driving lights in a limited timeframe.

Suggestions on the best practical use of these lights would be appreciated. My apologies if these sound like silly questions.

Many thanks
