I may be an idiot here but I'm noticing my cluster is always lit. Previously I've sworn the cluster only lit when I had headlights on. Idk if I just noticed because I had accidentally ran the dimmer all the way up. So is this normal to be alway lit even with headlights off? Thanks guys!

Normal, it's always lit. It dims when the lights are turned on.
