Default IC lights going off and on close to dusk. My pal Jim - 03S8 says photo sensor...

and it is normal. I'll buy that as the lights did go off and on depending on ambient light but they went off in the shadows and on in the relative light of dusk. Anybody know where the sensor is located? I think I want to eliminate this "feature".

Default Mine does the same thing. I hated when I enter the tunnel. I have to turn headlight on to see the

instrument. I would like to know too.

Default Sensor found, now what? Looks like invading the IC is necessary but beyond me.

I would not mind it being on *all* the time but not on when it is light and off when it is dark. I wish I never noticed this design from team doorhandle 'cuz I ain't smart enuf to do anything about it.

I'm hoping so that Obi Wan Rossato figures a fix. I *do* miss my 5KCSTQ!
