Consumer Description

THE DASH GAUGES ARE HARD TO SEE. FUEL GAGE & TEMP ARE THE WORST. THE MANUEL PG 171 STATES "TURN THE LIGHT SWITCH TO AUTO, THE HEADLIGHTS WILL LITE AT NORMAL BRIGHTNESS & PARKING LAMPS & INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WILL ALSO LIGHT. PANEL LIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT DURING THE DAY GAUGES ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE. THEN PUT SUN GLASSES ON MAKES IT EVEN WORST. EARLY IN AM & AROUND DUSK JUST CANNOT SEE THEM AT ALL. DEALER TOLD ME IN ORDER TO TURN ON INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS SWITCH MUST BE AT (HEADLAMPS POSITION). I FEEL THAT SINCE BUICK PLACED THE GAUGES IN THAT POSITION THEN THERE SHOULD BE SOME WAY TO SEE THEM I/E BACKLIGHT. PLEASE ADVISE . IS BUICK AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM & WHAT ARE THEIR PLANS? *TR
