The polar scope illumination was discussed here some time ago:

EQ6 (basic one) has very strange and not well designed LED circuit.
I had to replace 2 original resistors on the main PCB with much higher values to get reasonable behaviour of the circuit (that means. the intensity of LED is now appropriate for dark conditions, it is not blinding me any more and the intensity can be actually adjusted) .
I also replaced other resistors (in series with ON LED and the ones in remote control box) so now they are glowing with reasonable intensity in the dark (no, they are not visible during the day any more ).
The mod as I did it is here:
