Why, oh why, dost my dashboard blink at me?
Well, ok, it's not a blink. But the left side of my dash seems to "dim" at times -- seems mostly noticable when there is bright sunlight -- when the sun is bright I cannot read my fuel gauge at all but the temp gauge is bright and readable. Speedo dim; Tach bright... However, sometimes it is entirely equal -- most of the time at night when I'm driving the whole thing is lit up nicely.
My dealer has not been able to replicate it. Any ideas?

You're talking about the "always lit" type gauges that are on the i30, right ? If not then i can't really understand what you're askin'.

As I remember on new body style 00+ the dashboard backlight is a flurosent light (daylight) that what gives it pure white color instead of yellowish...just like flurosent bulbs in the house can get messed up and start blinking/flickering same can happen with yours...if it still under waranty tell dealer to replace it, dont ask him to fix it...otherwise he will never find problem with it.
good luck
