DASH LIGHTS TOO DIM

I would like to be able to have control over the brightness of my instrument panel lights independant from the headlights. As it is when the headlights turn on the dash lights immediately dim, and get brighter when they are off.

I understand what that switch is for, still, at full brightness the dash lights dim when the headlights turn on

 

Mine does that as well but still bright. Any darker spots or just all in general?

 

Joking aside, welcome to TW. As far as I know this is a normal characteristic of the vehicle. I suppose there may be some way to bypass the auto dimming feature but I don't know how one would go about doing that.

 

You could try switching out the lightbulbs for brighter ones. Many people have done this, I'll try to find a link for you

 

I'm assuming the OP is burning his headlights in the daytime and that's how he noticed this? There's a slight dimming when switching from DRL mode....in the evening when using headlights it's all good.
