No experience specifically with the Europa dash/instruments, but on my Elan, the dash lights (panel lights) have two settings - Off and Dim. It is that way by design (they use low wattage bulbs), in that bright lights mess up your night vision for driving at night. I have no trouble telling where the instrument needles are pointing, but I can't read the numbers on the instruments. But after you drive for awhile, you don't need the numbers, you know where things are supposed to point.
