Safety, Critical Alert

It IS confusing since the gauges do light up regardless. BUT the A/C and temp controls don't, so that should be a hint that something's missing at night.
I've no plans to tinker with the DRL's though.

No 'tinkering' involved, just unplug the DRL module that's bolted to the drivers-side of the A/C control console just behind the dash, takes five minutes. Want em' back? Plug it back in, done.

Personally I have mine unplugged, and I keep my lights-dimmer just 'behind' the click to full bright, so my lights all dim noticably when I turn my headlights on. It's not much, but self-training to teach myself 'OMG Bright = No Headlights!' works better than you'd think. :-)
