Chevy Cobalt auto light feature

Any car people/Cobalt owners in here?

I've had an '07 Cobalt for almost five years now. Got hit a few weeks ago and just got my car back from the shop today, and the lights on the dashboard and the radio are so dim that I really have to strain to see them. Previously I always just had it on the auto light setting, and never had a problem. I tried switching auto light off, and it does make the info display and clock bright enough, but the rest of the dash goes dark.

I almost wonder if a few weeks with a rental have made me forget and I just have to readjust, but I really think it used to be brighter and they must have reset something. Anyone know if there's a way to adjust the brightness? Google's not bringing anything up.

    Try turning your headlights on/off and see if that makes a difference to your interior brightness. It does on my cars.

    The light sensor on your dash isn't covered by accident is it? It could think it is dark out and automatically dim the dash lights.

    The sensor should be a black or gray looking bulb somewhere by the windshield

    Yeah, my '08 Malibu had a small knob to control the interior light brightness in more or less the same place.

    I love it when issues like this just work out, no extra cost.

    Between you and me, Peggy, I smoked this Juul and it did UNTHINKABLE things to my mind and body...
