If you bypass the dimmer switch you can probably get more brightness, though at the expense of not being able to adjust it. I get the impression a lot of people never use any setting except 'full bright' anyway. Personally, I like to dim my dash lights a bit when I'm driving on dark country roads, as my eyes adjust to the darkness. My Volvo sorta thwarts that by having a massively bright high beam indicator light, though. ;)
