Not for my Donzi but for our runabout, looking for a dimmer switch for
the instrument lights, they are so bright it kills my night vision, any help would be great

The other thing to look at is if the lights have a boot on them. The little colored boots are cheap, add color to the light, and REALLY knock the light down.

So... if the lights are white check for boots. if there are none just add them. they are super cheap and you can get them in a bunch of colors.

If its still too bright, add another boot or some high-temp tape to block more light.
