How to keep interior lights bright when you turn on running lights?

Hi there,

So I recently got a new pair of headlights and I want to keep the running lights on during the day so you can see the LED's and the halo. The problem is that when I do that, all of the lights on the dash and the radio and near the clock get very dim so it's hard to see them. Is there a way to reprogram them so they stay bright?

These vehicles did not come with daytime running lights except for Canadian vehicles. So you'll have to either wire in a relay, aftermarket module, or wire them up yourself so that certain lights are always powered when the ignition switch is on.

There is a dimmer wheel for interior lights down by the vdc button. Roll it all the way up and your interior lights will be as bright as when the headlights are off.

There's a position on the dimmer switch. If you spin the wheel to the max position either left or right, the interior lights will go to full brightness.


But please don't be that guy who puts in aftermarket headlights and drives around with them on during a bright sunny day.
