Forgive what is probably a stupid question. Is there anyway to dim the orange instrument panel lights? I know how to do the white gauge lighting, but it doesn't seem to affect the orange lights. I searched the manual but found nothing.

Pressing the - button on the right cluster will dim the lighting

Far as I know the only control is the universal brightness buttons that are on the right side of the gauge cluster.

As far as I can tell, there is no way to dim the idiot lights nor the headlight hi-beam indicator. I have a piece of static cling tape on the gauge lens that I blackened with a permanent marker to block most of the hi-beam.

If you do figure out how to dim them, please let us know.
