        Yes I assume you were referring to the interior cup holder lights which are indeed blinding?
        They are so bright I discontinued using them

            As long as you can locate the switched output to the lights, a 12V dimmer can be wired in.

                Someone needs to do a test here. Not all LEDs are dimmable. In fact, most aren't.

                  What kind of testing? Ive been doing LEDs and dimmer for years. Simple rhestat dials as well as those that are part of RGB controllers. Have yet to come across a 12V LED that cant be controlled with a dimmer.

                    I know the 12VDC LEDs in my car are not dimmable. Well, they flicker on and off, so if you consider that "dimmed" then yes. They're dimmable.

                    I'm just saying someone needs to do a real-world test with a dimmer before we just declare it a workable solution. It may not be as simple as a rheostat.

                      So ill ask again, what kind of testing and by whom, would be real world for you? Bring your boat by the shop and we'll do yours, will that work?

                        Nope. I don't have a trailer.

                          So share with the forum, what sort of real world testing you want to see and by whom you feel is a credible source. Im not being sarcastic, genuinely interested in what you feel is real world.

                            Charles,

                            Here is the best i can provide right at this moment. Just speaker LEDs dimmed by an RGB controller. Its a pre-programmed dimmer value as opposed to a variable value like through a rheostat. I do not have a dimmer knob for single color LEDs on hand at this moment.
