Dash light dims upon turning on lights.

Inside your car, there is an interior. Talk about it here

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.
