Yes, that's exactly right.  Most people just leave it 'on' most of the time.

On a dark night, _any_ light shining in your face makes it harder to see the
road.  This is the reason for the switch/dimmer (I believe your car is late
enough it should have the dimmer, but TR2-early 3A only had a switch), so you
can dim or turn off entirely the dash lights when you need to see better at
night.  As dim as the original panels lights are, turning them off still helps
when it's really dark (no moon).
