Thanks, this was driving me crazy. It must be very subtle because I was changing this back and forth at night time and could not notice anything changing.

What does the first dial do next to the headlight switch. The second one controls the gauge dimmer. But I can not get the first dial to do anything .

It's a steering trim wheel. Turn it in the up direction and your steering wanders left. Turn it in the down direction and your Jeep will wander to the right. Set it in the middle and it wanders randomly.

Look at the graphics. It’s obvious it controls sunrise/ sunset times.

Checked last night, 2019 JL Rubicon, it controls the lighting in the foot box; both driver and passenger side.

It will never die because jeep manufactured a roller switch that literally does nothing in half of their wrangler products. Even if it worked, it seems like a silly option.

My switch did something this morning on my 2018 JL Sport! I left for work earlier than normal, no moon, and cloud cover so it was DARK.

Headlights on, right switch on low and I noticed the left switch...adjusting the miniscule LED in the door handle from hardly noticable to pretty much off :CWL:

There are lights in the door handles? What the heck? Probably not in the base Sport model with manual locks.

So it doesn't adjust the interior dome light at all?
he's probably thinking the one next to it..however lighted handles does seem nice

2019, 2 door Sport S, Mojito!
It allowes you to dim the screen and the instrument panel. It only works if the headlights are on. I frequently use this great feature!

It dims the door handles. Wow, this has got to be the silliest feature yet.

If your headlughts were on your answer would change,
I have a Sport S. , so it doesnt do much of anything, even with lights on. I've known this, for almost 2 years.
