Hi guys. I've had two Leons now. My first was a 1.6 Reference and I thought the speedo and rev counters were very dark, barely enough to see on an overcast day. Since getting my Cupra the speedo back surrounds are white and grey so are better but still it is better illuminated with the haedlights on. same goes for the centre console and cd player too. i know on Audis the dash lights are on whether the headlights are on or not.

does anybody know how to change this or how to alter the wiring (if easy enough) so that the dash/speedo lights are constantly on? its a simple thing but it looks much better when illuminated.

cheers for any help guys :), have had no luck searching for similar posts on here.

I looked into this and there doesn't appear to be an option to enable / disable it using VAG-COM like there is on Audis.. I guess it's just not supported..
