Asking here in the hope someone has come across this and may have an

Car interior lights have an auto 'dimmer'. They do a graceful fade in
and fade out when switched on and off. On a Merc. Owner wanted some
slightly brighter lights so changed from tungsten to LED. The auto
system still does a graceful fade out - but sort of leaps to on, rather
than fading up. Later Mercs have got LED lighting which does fade in
and out OK - but it's not just a case of changing the module which on
the later cars is part of other things too.

On this model the module is stand alone, so would be possible to modify
it.


Why don't you replace the traic ;-)

'cos car electrics are dc

Except for Ford model T.
