Instrument lights

My instrument lights go out when the head lights go off when the sensor turns off the lights while driving. That makes them hard to read. Are they supposed to do that?

Did you try changing the brightness with the rheostat?

I just checked it out, and yes, it looks like they're supposed to do that.
I would have never noticed, since I always have my parking lights on.
I like to keep the halos, tail lights, and marker lights on.

They may have changed the programming option, then. My '08 have the instrument pods always lit. But then again, I have my halos set as DRL, which comes on automatically
