    Perhaps Toyota figured that making the steering wheel lit up like a christmas tree would be distracting and encourage people to look at the buttons instead of feel them. I also operate the steering buttons by feel. That's the best way afterall....

    I was having the same thoughts. It would be nice if they were brighter.

    When I got my Prius 2 weeks ago I found myself looking for an adjustment and figured out I couldn't.

    As Tideland Prius had mentioned, it doesn't really matter anyway - because after a month you don't look at it anyway - and it's good that it's DIM, because it's not distracting at night.

    That isn awesome idea (and look). Concerning the glare, I find that simply closing your eyes while you drive greatly alleviates the problem.
