jeff Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Picked up 2009 Edge on Saturday. Love the car but a question. Should the instrument panel, ie speedometer, gas gauge etc. illuminate during daytime driving or do I have to turn on the headlights to get them to illuminate? The gauges were kind of hard to read during daytime driving and I was wondering if their working correctly. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have your headlights set to "auto", then if the conditions warrant, for example if it's cloudy, then your headlights and instrument panel will be lit.

jeff Posted September 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Thanks for the quick reply! Nice to know that I don't have a problem. I think I might try driving with the parking lights on during the day to see if that helps with speedometer visibilty. I noticed you have the illuminating door sills. How do you like them and were you able to install them yourself? I was thinking about getting them also. Thanks again for the quick reply.

feelin edgy Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 You may want to check into the legality of driving with only your parking lights on in your state. I seem to recall that this is not legal in some states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about getting them also. I really like them. I've had a lot of positive comments about them as well. They were very easy to install. Toughest part was getting the old sills off. The directions that came with them were very easy to follow and complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
