Does anyone know how to set the gauge cluster lights so that they only turn on when the headlights are on?

The factory setting turns them on white when the headlights are off. This has confused me a couple of times where I think that the headlights are on when I see the gauge cluster lit white.

I have a 2006 GT with MyColor

Thanks.

I hope you realize that without those "headlight-off" dashboard lights, you will most likely encounter many situations where you cannot read your gauges. The gauges are set pretty deep into the dash, and many lighting conditions would make them near impossible to read. I'm sorry, but I favor keeping the instruments illuminated.
