Weird question maybe .... the new LED gear lights do they still have a high and low (Dimmer) function? They are usually controlled by one of the dials on the right side of control quadrant. As I understood it was a ground dim circuit. With dimmer off the neg side of lights went straight to ground with dimmer on the ground was routed thru a resistor to dim the gear lights.

Actually I’m not sure, but I can see the 3 green both day and night. Maybe it’s just one setting now?

Oddly enough, on my Mooney that circuit combined with LED lights is enough for a teeny bit of power to feed back through the annunciator panel, which causes a nav light to come on dimly even when the switch is off.
