Do you have to somehow choose between bright &amp; dim mode on 3157's? How?

As reverse lights, even though 3157 typically stands for dual filament bulbs, I believe these always light up the same way - VERY bright, haha. Love them as reverse lights in my Charger.

You can only control the brightness by leaving a bulb (or bulbs) out (it takes 3 bulbs), or changing the wattage of the bulbs you are using. There is no "dimmer" switch, just on or off.

Yes! The last retains the last color configuration. It will even retain dimness settings.

Never had a problem with brightness. Make sure you check your settings, some will make the picture dimmer. Also make sure the mirror inside the set is clean.

you have to search out adaptive brightness, there is an area where you can turn off the adaptive brightness, so it stays bright always.

Use Super Macro mode and make sure you have excellent indoor lighting if doing this indoors. Otherwise, use a light box or set up outside. :)

The method this is done is by using the Graphic Card/ Computer to adjust the brightness, ala Apple Cinema Display which requires the computer to adjust. I think the setup is similar to Apple Cinema Display with panel type and control board.

I should also note 3057 and 3157 are equivalent lamps... it is suggested to use the red led unit for the red lens for a better red appearance, the white lamp while very bright makes your tail light a little less red and with a bright spot in the middle. the good thing is that they don't get hot like the incandescent so they wont melt the sockets.

maybe double check the settings menu, I saw a "dynamic contrast" in there somewhere. Don't know if it would help any, or if it's default on or off, I was clicking all over the place! It could also be using more power to light up the screen? Is your video card good for the resolution? Just guesses....

If you look at power save options you can adjust the brightness I believe. I had similar issues, but the brightness is usually enough in power save mode that I don't have an issue with it.

Try this: go to "settings" (upper-left of the arrows)....use right arrow to get to Brightness, further right arrows to adjust,use OK, then "EXIT".

I believe there are three digital display settings, and the darkest one is off. But I haven't tried that because I want to see the time in the morning. I have it on dim and it's great.

No, there are two separate bulbs. One for the "dim" and one for your brights.

You can disable dimming with a switch in the base unit which my older version (with the same model number) did not have.

Each mode (low, medium, and high) has a sub mode and a memory. The sub mode is programmable by you. In high mode you will have the standard high of 900 lumens. You have a sub mode in high that is programmable of varying brightness levels but all are lower than 900. Basically in high mode you have a high-high and and low-high. If you run the high-high of 900 lumens, after 5 minutes it will switch to your low-high to keep from overheating. Aside from that switch, all settings are continuous because the outputs are regulated. There is a memory in effect in which what ever of the 2 modes in low, medium, or high you last used, that will be the output level that will turn on by default the next time you use that mode. So if you dont want 900 lumens every time you switch to high but a little bit dimmer, than switch to the secondary mode in high and when you turn off the light or switch to a different mode, when you come back to high it will be in the secondary brightness setting by default. You can easily switch it back to 900 by double clicking while in high. The brightest programmable secondary mode in high doesn't visually appear much dimmer than 900 lumens. You will notice it when you compare the two side by side but if you haven't turned the light on high in a while you will probably forget if its in the primary or secondary mode. It sounds confusing on paper but once you see or use it, it will all make sense. I hope this helps.
