WHEN TURNING THE HEADLIGHTS FROM THE AUTOMATIC TO THE MANUAL POSITION THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTATION DOES NOT LIGHT UP. THIS POSES A SAFETY HAZARD ON CLOUDY / FOGGY DAYS WHEN THE AUTOMATIC SENSOR SENSITIVITY IS SET TO HIGH TO ALLOW FOR PROPER LIGHTING OF THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH INSTRUMENTATION. WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE SWITCHED TO MANUAL THIS SHOULD BYPASS THE AUTOMATIC SENSOR AND ALLOW FOR DASHBOARD ILLUMINATION HOWEVER THIS IS NOT THE CASE. *NM
