Has anyone else seen the lights in the message center suddenly brighten and then go back to normal. I have seen this about three times, Once the headlights were on and the other times the headlights were off. I think I also saw the lights in the radio go bright this morning but all other dash lights were normal with having the lights on.

Mine do it as well, I just assumed it was because I have the lights going on automatically, the truck kicked them on thinking it was night. Then the auto dim feature for interior lights reduced the brightness.

Somebody said it was normal and caused by the light sensor on the dash.It's right in the middle near the windshield.

Mine also. Glad to hear others have noticed the same thing, my wife told me it was just another sign of old age creeping up on me.
