| Description of the problem | On most newer cards the dashboard is digital and back-lit. Some of these cars also have very bright daytime running lights. What i have seen is that some owners inadvertently turn off the auto lights, and think they have lights on because they can see where they are going, but they lack any rear lights because the lights are not technically on. I've seen this in jeep vehicles as an example. The only way to know your lights are on in a jeep for example is a little green headlight icon, that is easily ignored. Something more needs to be on the dash when lights are in the off position at night. |
