Is there any way of reducing the intensity of this indicator lamp. When night driving, I have to position my hand on the steering wheel in order to shield by eyes from the blue glare.

Believe it or not, there is a reflash to correct that.. maybe thats why the call it 'brights'?!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

I had seen this post before and thought "God some people are picky", then we got the wife an 03 Suburban.....holy sh#@, it blinds you worse than an oncoming vehicle with their high beams on.


Is their a specific TSB or "part number" for the reflash?

Here is the TSB data...


Maybe it should go into the TSB section, but the question was asked here....

IP Cluster High Beam Indicator too Bright (Reprogram IPC)


2003 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT
2003 Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe
2003 GMC Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL


Condition
Some customers may comment that the IP cluster high beam indicator lamp is too bright.


Correction
To reduce the high beam indicator intensity level, reprogram the IPC with the service calibration that was available from Techline on the TIS2000 version 4.5 or later for 2003. This calibration is an electronic calibration and is not available from GMSPO.
