Only come on when its Dark [light sensor]

Speedo lights.

This is true and not a wind up, why do we need to turn of the speedo lights in the day time, global warming?.

yesterday while out it was phissing it doen and very overcast, the lights should have ideally been on so i could see my speedo etc.

Can you tape up the daylight sensor by any chance???
