err...you want it brighter than it already is at night??.... I run mine dimmed a few button-presses lower than the normal already-dimmed position. It's less distracting and more comfortable at night.

I believe it dims because it needs to be brighter during the day to offset all the light from the sun. It doesn't need to shine as bright at night because 1) there is less light all around so it doesn't need to be as bright and 2) your eyes have adjusted to the darker conditions, and are taking in more light as it is.

Ding ding ding...this is correct. It makes perfect sense. All electronic displays do this. From headunits to plasma TVs....in the dark, they dim.
