Hi, if you think about those green stripes lights then no, F-16 doesn't have that. F-16 has red and green position/formation lights on the wingtips as well as on the fuselage. You can check that in the manual page 69.

There is HUD panel right off the stick inside the cockpit, on that panel there is HUD brightness control switch which sets the illumination.

That's for the DED. HUD dial is right under the HUD, same one used to turn it on or off.

The one for the DED is called Data Entry Display Brightness Control Knob and its is on the Lighting panel.

It seems we were talking about slightly different things and your original point was correct. I was interpreting the question as looking for an adjustment dial, but I guess the switch is more analogous.

The switch in the HUD section in the right console near the flightstick changes HUD Brightness from Day to Auto to Night. Auto does not seem to work if I interprete that as settings the HUD to Day brightness during day and to Night brightness during night. Flipping the switch to Night darkens the HUD immediately. A must for night missions.
