Dash Gauges are always on....WTF?
Yeah, my gauges (mph, odo, fuel, temp and LANCER) stays lit regardless of whether or not i turn the headlights off. So sometimes at night, im driving around in a pretty lighted street area with no headlights on thinking that they are on because my dash lights are. They turn off only when the car is turned off.
Is a problem or something new im figuring out about my EVO?

Mine are always on too, on mine it shows the green light symbol to show my lights are on. Not sure your model has that or not but that is how I tell. I can leave my lights on also and they auto turn off when I turn off the car and open my door then turn back on when I start it. Mine is 06 SE.

i cant believe you just found that out!!
also..you should realize your headlights are on not only from your gauge cluster...but from the visibility infront of you..as well as the a/c lights wont be on if your headlights are not!!!

i just installed mines, their like that too. something has to do with the black wire next to the dimmer wire...that shouldnt be a prob anyways, just turn on the lights when you need it and shut off the car when you get to your destination.

LOL REALLY?
Thats kinda dumb though because it would prematurely wear the dash light bulb.
