Need help with lights
2001, F250, 2 WD, 7.3, Manual 6 speed transmission, Lariat.
I drive 24 hrs a day with the headlights on.
Problem= With the lights on in daylight I can't read the radio/clock panel and I can't read the compass, MPG/other stuff on the roof mounted display .
Solution so far = Turn off lights in daytime to read those things.
Is there a wiring change that I cam make to solve this problem?
Thanks, Marvin

Maybe the bulbs are shot. They get a little burned when they get old sometimes and don't light as bright anymore.
