If you think that's illogical, try an Alfa 90 2.5i (w/digital dash). Two
dimmers - one for the LEDs in the dash, one for all other interior
lights (general dash illumination, HVAC controls, various other
switches, radio controls etc). The illogical bit is the map and dome
light switches in the roof console, which are lit with the parking
lights on, but aren't on a dimmer; and the power-window switches and the
seat controls (?), which aren't lit at all.
