Dim for night unit wont dim at night. to bright to the road

There is likely a loose ground on the headlight and it is gaining some grounding current through the spotlight filament. Find the common ground on the frame and remove all of the wires a clean the terminals with emery paper, including the frame area around the attach point. This should restore a solid ground for all the lights.

I tie them in with any dash light wire. Tape it up afterwards and it will be fine.

check the bulb sockets , ck your ground

i had this happen with my dodge ram 1500. the guy i bought it from put 350 dollar moon lit lights in with leds and they looked impressive but the issue was that they didnt go bright and i could only see 40 feet in front of me and i was sure taping led flashlights would have done me more good that those stupid headlights. then i had the idea of if the brights work and the dims dont then that means no electricity is getting to the dims so i decided to bridge the power from the bright headlight to the dims and it made all four work. now they all work, and only on bright. so im figuring there is a issue with the wiring in the truck. so this is a temporary solution if you really need just plain old lights like i did because i live out in the country

The silverstar bulbs while brighter, have a considerably shorter life span than conventional bulbs. If the headlights are dim, it would mean a bad electrical connection most commonly a bad ground. If they are just too dim for your liking and burn at the normal brightness, you might want to consider having auxilliary headlamps installed.

If it is an orange wire with white trace, this wire is used for dimming the brightness when you turn the lights on.....normally connected to the illumation wire...sometimes to the cig lighter illumination or dah illumation wiring........

The headlights on my Tahoe are dim too. It's also a 1999. I replaced my bulbs with Silverstar's but it was still dim. I used Mequiar's Headlight kit to polish off the yellowing and oxidized headlight's and it really made them look good but they are still not bright. They look bright but the light hitting the road is still weak. It's because the inside of my headlights are a little bit cloudy still. The heat damage from the bulb made the insides cloudy and the light is still weak on the road at night. That's all I can do unless I replace the headlight assemblies. Much money and not super simple to do. I have very bright bulbs just cloudy housings that still don't allow the beam to fully shine through. I don't know if that is your issue but I hope this helps.

Yes the screen dims automatically when the lights are on to suit night driving. I am not specifically familiar with the 01 model, however on my 08 model, the display brightness is also manually adjustable via a button located below and to the right of the display. The button is marked with a series of short lines assembled in an arc. Hope this helps.

it can be done easy but i dont want to tell you as the lights dim for a reason so that at night they are not too bright and distrating when driving it is not safe to have bright lights on inside car at night they may blind you

Sounds like you have a dimming switch problem. You can pull the switch out, any I'd bet you have a burnt wire at the connector. It's a comman(<spelling?) problem.
