   The little wheel under my steering wheel to the right adjusts my headlight level.
   
   To dim/brighten your clocks you do it by holding down the right nob on your clocks (not the one that resets/ shows you're mileage). Think you need the sidelights on to do it.
   
   If I'm wrong here check your manual

   only mk1 has that little but under the steering wheel
   on mk2 twos you press the button on the far left on the speedo dials.
   hold it and the dials will get dimma and brighter..

    It's definately the right one on the Mk2. The left one resets your mileage.
