OBC dim (but functional) even after new lightbar?

[khiobrien2]

As stated in the title, my OBC is very dim (as it looks when bulbs burn out) even after a new light bar. It still works, but is hardly legible. Any ideas on what could fix this? I have tried replacing all fuses with relation to the obc.

If I can't fix it, the euro 316i hvac panel I have is going in. Fuck this shit, lol.

Perhaps low voltage on the input, or a bad dimmer, or you never adjusted the dimmer control on the headlight stalk.

New OEM lightbar or aftermarket LED bar?

Aftermarket led… now that I say that, I would not be surprised if that is the issue.

Will check for the voltage. My dimmer control works fine and moving it has no effect on obc… it’s stuck barely legible.

If there is one valuable lesson I've learned, it's to not overthink the issue and jump to conclusions. Check the obvious things first. Apply voltage to the light bar terminals and test it.
