You can't dim LEDs I thought?

You can't adjust brightness once LEDs are fitted. They run at far lower voltage than normal bulbs. The adjuster is just a resistor and doesn't make enough difference to the LEDs to make them dim.
iirc numbers don't show much as you need to diffuse the LED output somehow.

I've got normal bulbs with lockwood white dials and can't see the numbers at night.
