Speedometer Lights Question .... ?

The lights are usually all red at night in my car (PIC 1) but sometimes when i drive into a gas station with bright lights the bottom change to white (PIC 2)

its really weird, but it seems that there are 2 different light sensors, or logic for handling it. but this is normal behavior....if the sensor feels that its not too dark, or not quite night time....it will change the lower cluster (and HUD) will turn to white.

but the speedometer does not have a white option....if the system feels that its getting dark...it will turn orange.

I want to trick the system into thinking that it is not too dark all the time so that the lower cluster and HUD are always white at night. How can i do that?

Try to code this via e-sys

KOMBI 3007 DIM_NACHT_EIN werte = FF

(default are werte = 32)

Changes orange night colors of KOMBI to be white at night (No Navi Night Switch too)

hope it help
