MisterPoet Posted January 8, 2023 Report Share Posted January 8, 2023 I am new to LC200; so need information from experienced users please. In my LAnd Cruiser 2013 model v6 GXR variant, the instrument cluster light (speedometer light) turns on only if I switch on LED or full headlights. Otherwise, it doesn’t light up during day time and I feel difficulty in underground parking during day. I need to know if this is default behavior in GXR v6 variant 2013 model? OR we can switch it on with some settings? FYI - With headlights control, I see simple 3 steps (1) off (2) LED on and (3) headlight on. There is no AUTO button in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahmad Nerat Posted January 14, 2023 Report Share Posted January 14, 2023 Hii @MisterPoet, Based on ur explination it looks normal behavior as long u dont have the DRL option in ur car. I have 2014 lc200 V8. My car is equipped with Daytime running lamps (DRL) which turns on/off the lights automatically based on light sensitivity sensor which located in the windshield. I advise u to check in car accessories shops or agency if they cld fix light sensor device that cld adjust the light for u. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPoet Posted January 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 @Ahmad Nerat thank you brother. As you said LC200 v8 versions comes with DRL which can automatically lit up the Instrument Cluster during day time. I need some friend having v6 GXR to confirm if his LC200 instrument cluster lights up during day time? This could be default behaviour in v6 versions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPoet Posted January 23, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 Is this a one off problem with me, or someone else experienced the same on Land Cruiser v6 GXR variant? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederic Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 I spoke to a friend of mine with a 2012 Land Cruiser GXR. According to him the instrument cluster does not light up during daytime, only when he switches on the headlights. 2 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

MisterPoet Posted January 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 @Frederic thank you bro - that really helped me to understand this as a default behavior in GXR v6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krishna R Posted January 25, 2023 Report Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) @MisterPoet Maybe this might help you as I faced a similar issue in my civic. No harm in trying. Do you have a knob to push to shuffle between trip A and trip B in your dash. If yes, try turning it clockwise. In some cars, thats doubles as a brightness adjustment knob. Once, the car wash guys turned it anti clockwise by mistake when cleaning the dash and post that, it was very dim during the day ( headlights off) and once headlights were on, it brightened up. Bugged me out for a while until I found the solution online Let me know if it helped Edited January 25, 2023 by Krishna R 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPoet Posted February 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 @Krishna R thanks for sharing your experience. Yes, I have this knob and it shows 4 settings (1) Odometer (2) Trip A (3) Trip B (4) Brightness Adjustment. But to go into 4th setting of Brightness Adjustment, Headlights should be turned ON. Otherwise, it doesn't get you there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krishna R Posted February 8, 2023 Report Share Posted February 8, 2023 @MisterPoet Headlights dont have to be turned on. Just try turning it clockwise. You should see the panel lighting up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
