Hope this time it will be a bit easier to answer. ;-) As far as we could find out the tiller panel has its own backlighting. And for sure - you can dimm this panel like all others. Does anybody know by which dimm knob this backlight is controlled? Your help is very appreciated! **+++ UPDATE +++** Ben from Italy was so kind to answer our question: backlight illumination of tillers is provided by the INTEG LT MAIN PNL with the PED POT situated on the lower left side of pedestal. Many thanks, Ben! ![tiller backlight](https://www.vier-im-pott.com/images/blog/q4-2014/20121117_214038.jpg) **+++ Update +++** Another reader of this blog was so kind to point the schematic of the backlighting.
