I will be installing mine this week and am wondering what to expect. Does the backlight turn off after a particular timeout of no signals or something? I am using the white on blue LCD.

One thing that I can see being an annoyance to me is night driving. I hate bright lights glaring at me from within my car, I keep my dash lights dimmed very low.

Is there a particular line I can switch or put a pot onto to be able to dim the backlight with this LCD? Maybe even a CDS cell to automate it based upon ambient light.

As a last alternative I guess I could make a tinted plastic shield I could place over the LCD at night.
