I am aware of the dimmer control and it is all the way up. Just to clarify my post, I am not actually trying to see anything in particular in the car, so I don't need a supplemental cigarette lighter light. I think its more of an 'ambiance' issue for me.

My Touareg uses red lighting on all of the buttons etc associated with the radio, climate control etc.. and there is a red hue that comes down from the rearview mirror as well as good footwell lighting. Overall it looks very cool and creates a nice warm feel to the car at night. The Boxster on the other hand, it seems just the dials and the little tiny radio screen light up in white light. Just would think Porsche would have put some more thought into this.

Ever been in an Audi at night - now that is cool.
