How to have instrumental cluster to be always ON?
 
Just got my car 5% tinted last weekend. It looks awesome with the tint, but there's one problem.

During the day, I can't see anything on instrumental cluster except the digital speedometer with my sunglasses on. I always have my headlight stick to be at "Auto".

Is there any way to get around this and have the light to be on all the time?

Thanks for helping out a noob.

I think you can adjust the brightness with a scroll wheel located down and to the bottom left of the steering wheel. Near the headlight leveler.

Oh, I know what you are talking about. Thought that only changes the brightness of the light when it's on.

Then I have to toggle back and forth between auto and parking lights!

Was wondering if there's a way to leave it at "Auto" and have the cluster light to be on all the time.

How come you don't just leave it at Auto?

I've never encountered a situation where it was too dark to see my gauge cluster without the lights on...

I had no problem before tinting the car.

But with 5% tint + sunglass + california sunlight, I can't see anything except the digital speedometer.

And this is why 5% tint is illegal LOL

I always turn my parking lights on during the day. I leave it in auto when I drive at night but during the day I still find it hard to see the instrument cluster with sun glasses on and 30% tint.... I also love having the strip of light around the headlights (can't remember what they are actually called...) on all the time because it looks awesome
