Hello my fellow Nico members, I drive 2009 altima coupe 2.5 and I installed H.I.D. and interior L.E.D. all by myself in about 2 weeks ago(thanks to the club) However, I noticed that as the H.I.D. turns on at night, the light of the gauge tends look weaker in brightness when the H.I.D. was on... and I thought the wiring that I did with H.I.D. was wrong... So I tried every possible ways of wiring the H.I.D. but it was no use... is there any way of me fixing this? Please help me out, thanks my fellow members!

check the dimmer switch on your cluster. There are 2 settings for the dimmer, one with headlights lights off and one with lights on your night setting may just be set lower. I have mine set like that so I'm not blinded by orange lights at night.

Sounds like you just discovered a feature that's standard in most vehicles nowadays...
