Default 2008 XK dash lights up dim

Hi all, the central display between the speedo and rev counter lights up very very dimly initially but after an hour or so it comes back to being bright enough to read in all light levels. The dimmer switch makes no difference apart from dimming it further when the lights are on. Any suggestions????

Say a prayer for your dying battery.

Have your battery load tested. If it's bad, replace it with an AGM type battery instead of the OEM flooded type. Also get a good battery maintainer, such a CTEK, if you don'talready have one.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Hi there, Did you ever get this problem sorted? My 2009 XK has the same problem-Dim at first and slowly getting brighter after a while..
