6000K HID dims my gauge light??

dudesky · 12-03-2011, 01:32 PM

hello guys,
I just noticed that my gauge lights got dim, and found out that when I turn off the headlights, it gets brighter...I believe when I had stock bulb, this didn't happen. What's wrong with this? anyone knows how to make the gauge lights brighter when headlights are on??

try the + button on the right gauge cluster

this happens in all cars.

its normal.

its nothing tod ow ith the HID, but the fact that you turned your lights on.

In the night time, you dont need your gauges to be super bright so it dims them a bit.

in the day time, with all the ambient light it can be hard to see the gauges so it makes them brighter.
