Re: [DML] Radio Bracket Removal: A few questions.

Long message, I only have time to answer the AC panel light question. During
the design stages it was decided that whenever the key was switched on the
AC panel lights would illuminate at full brightness during daylight for
increased visibility. To reduce this brightens during nighttime driving a
relay was inserted in the circuit between the main lighting switch (park &
headlights) and the panel lights. A later, non-factory, modification was
introduced to only allow the AC panel lights to illuminate with the parking
or headlights.

If your car is wired properly the panel lights should dim approximately 25%
when the main headlight/parking light switch is in the "on"position.
