Dashboard brightness during the day

Trying to find out if there is a setting to increase the brightness of the dashboard so I can see it during the day. The setting found when pressing F4 works great at night, but I can barely see the numbers, etc, during the day. (my screens are fines, I can see everything else)
Thanks

Unfortunately it can only be done through modding. I don't know which mod that offer brighter dash, but here tips if you (or anyone else) want to increase dash hud brightness setting:

Open "dashboard_color.sui" file stored on "def.scs" game asset, located under "/def/vehicle/truck/<truck_id>/interior/" folder, where "<truck_id>" is the truck model identifier that you want to edit to. This "dashboard_color.sui" file can be opened with any plain text editor such as a Windows Notepad.
Add two new attributes to declare min/max range for dash brightness slider in F4 menu:
panel_intensity_min: <min_value> panel_intensity_max: <max_value>
For example, if the minimum slider set to 20% intensity and maximum slider set to 100% intensity, declare them as:
panel_intensity_min: 0.2 panel_intensity_max: 1.0
Add two new attributes to declare default/max eye adaptation factors from direct lights:
panel_adaptation: <default> panel_adaptation_max: <maximum>
For example, if by default eye adaptation factor is added by 1% and maximum factor added by 5%, declare them as:
panel_adaptation: 0.01 panel_adaptation_max: 0.05
. That's all.
Pack your mod, put it on "mod" folder, and activate it on game's Mod Manager. Add manifest, description, and mod icon if necessary.

Note:
This tips doesn't cover how to create a mod. You can find it elsewhere.
