Dash light dims upon turning on lights.

Good evening. When you turn your lights on, the illumination for the clock and climate control dips to a reduced light output for night driving.

Could someone tell me what wire it is that sends the signal to dip this lighting? I drive in all conditions day and night with my sidelights on so other drivers can see me. But in the daylight I cannot see the climate illumination as it dims quite considerably. I want to put a switch inline so I can control whether it dips or not, like on the 4th gen.

Any pointers would be awesome.

It's red with black stripe I think as that's the stereo colour as the wire i tapped into to my gauges.
