On my Focus,the headlight on/off switch inside the car to the right of the steering wheel has a rotary dimmer switch to the bottom left of it,below the headlight height adjustment dial. If this has been rotated it will dim all the problem areas on your car.Just move it back and all will be restored.

Hope this helps.

Greg.

areas on your car.


On my 2003 Focus 1 the rotary dimmer switch gradually rotates over time towards the dim position of its own accord! It did the same thing on my previous 1999 Focus 1.
