Brighter in daylight, intensity reduced when headlights are on. Yes, and then there is an adjuster on the right of the steering wheel (RHD vehicle).

Sorry, can't offer any advice but I have noticed a similar behaviour in our 2013 GD hatch. It seems correlated with the ambient lighting changes during the twilight periods. I did not consider it serious enough to take the car back to the dealer but will keep an eye on it.
