Hello, Im having a problem with the dash lighting and its been like that since ive had it. During the day, everything is fine, but once it starts getting dark, my dash has what seems to be a short. Not only do the gauges light up as bright as they should, but the digital speed readout on top is very choppy, you can only see parts of the numbers, but if i turn the light switch and fog lights off and not auto, everything goes back to normal, and very bright. But i noticed it is only at night, during the day i can have the fog lights and lights on and its ok. Im thinking that it has something to do with the daylight sensor, so i want to disconnect it and see what happens. I posted pics of the difference, you can see in the 1st pic how the digital read out cant even be seen, and the "P" cant be completely seen, in the 2nd pic you see everything.
