Hi,

When i borrowed my dads TJ2 exec i noticed that when the headlights weren't on, the dash all still lit up, like if you went into a tunnel you could still see what speed you were going.

Now i have a TL vrx magna ive noticed that only trip computer lights up when the headlights aren't on, and you are on ACC. If you turn the headlights on you still get the cool red gauges :D

I was just wondering if the entire thing was supposed to light up. Also i don't have the halo light around the ignition key, isn't that supposed to light up when i get in the car?

Im just asking as i have the car in for a diagnosis on Tuesday and i was wondering if i should mention all this to the mechanic dude.

Cheers,

its normal on TJ IIs its a high contrast dash. it lights up when the key is in acc or on.

..and for the first few weeks of driving you forget to turn your headlights on at night and get abused by drivers.

Hehe i did this too, but only because i got out of my car and back in and it screwed up my routine, so i saw the dash lights on and didn't even think about it.
