Brought my new 95 850 home yesterday. Had the headlights (switch) on because is was a little dim outside due to the weather. It was not dark yet, but it looked like the instruments were not lighting up.

Eventually, as it did get dark outside, my dash lights started to flicker. The darker it got outside, the more they flickered on. When it was officially dark outside, they were on, no problems.

Is there a light sensor? When the headlights are on should the dash lights be on? Or is there a sensor that, when the headlights are on, decides whether or not it is really dark outside, thus turning on or off the dash lights?

Once it did get dark, and the dash lights were on, it looked pretty good, but I think quite a few are inop. Probably a couple on the climate control and stereo. Various others, but I'm not sure everything is supposed to light up. Are these lights hard to change?

All advice welcome, thanks for reading....Greg.
