MacBook Pro M2 Touch Bar dim

Help

So I have a MacBook Pro M2 with a headless mod. I think it’s called like that because it has no screen. Anyways it worked great, but today the Touch Bar suddenly went dim. It’s not like I can’t see anything, but I know it was brighter yesterday.

I already tried restarting it many times and restart the Touch Bar from the Terminal. It’s doing his thing but after it’s back on, it’s still the same brightness.

I have the newest OS.

From what I read online, the normal MacBook is adjusting the brightness of the touchbar with the ambient room light. It has a sensor next to the camera. But because I don’t have the screen on it anymore, I can’t control it or force it with light from outside.

Is there anyway to write a code or force the brightness to go full again?

Thanks in advance.

(I tried posting it on the headlessmacbook, but it’s locked)
