AIN'T BY CHANCE, GOT THE DASH DIMMER SWITCH TURNED DOWN DO YA? (IF YPU HAVE ONE)

I'M TALKING ABOUT THE PUPPY (WHEEL OR KNOB ON THE DASH OR TURN SIGNAL ARM) THAT DIMS THE DASH, BUT ALSO TURNS ON THE DOME LIGHT WHEN IT HIT'S IT'S LAST CLICK, AT THE END OF IT'S TRAVEL IN MANY DIFFERENT VEHICLES

JUST SLINGIN' OUT SOME STUPID STUFF!
