How to keep Radio and Odometer lights from dimming out when Headlights on?
When I am drivingin to workin the morning I always turn on my headlights. When I turn the headlights on, the gauges switch to "MyColor" but the stock green odometer and radio lights dim out to where I can't even see them due to the sun being partially up in the sky. Is there a way to set these lights sothat when I turn on the headlights the radio and odometer lights stay at the same brightness they were before I turned the headlights on?

Since the Mycolor is plenty bright when I turn the headlights on, turning up the dimmer will make the Mycolor too bright. The radio and odometer lights actually dim out when the headlights turn on. There's something else going on here...

the radio is supposed to dim when the headlights come on.
just turn your dimmer switch all the way up and set your mycolor to a color combo or variant that's not too bright.

It is really nice to have all of these guys to bounce questions off of so thatwe don't have to go to the dealer every timewe have a simple problem; the bad part is every once in a while they can really make us look stupid for asking. Good to hear that you got your problem solved.
