When the headlights are on the backlit panel is dark. And with them off the panel is lit up. Seems it should be the reverse? Right?

You are right. If you installed according to the instructions it should work properly. I think the wiring harness is reversed or your wiring. Check your wiring to verify its correct, if your wiring is OK then it could the wire harness of the unit. Also make sure your wire harness of your vehicle is positive (+) and not negative (-). I would send it back to Amazon for replacement.

I sold that car and got another this kit is $200-$300 and it is a piece of junk your connections seem to be reversed mine never did that also make sure you program the ac and heat controls and plug the harness into the right plug or it won't work and the unit is screwed up don't think about calling the manufacturer for a warranty they just tell you to send it back where you got it

Are you talking about the screen backlight or button backlight. If button, recheck your wiring because ive never had that problem. If screen backlight: My favorite part about this unit is the full dual backlit lighting control. Hold mode down to customize the color. With the headlight off you can set a color, with the headlight on you can set another color. Brightness of each template is also at your control. My headlight-off lighting is full bright red, headlight-on is dim white.

Check your connection to the reverse lamp circuit with a test light or volt meter and make sure your monitor is is connected to constant power it will turn on automatically when in reverse and off when in park or any other gear

it does, but it destroys the contrast ratio so you cannot see the lighter color. everything looks dark when you dim the brightness. what i do is normal brightness and wear sunglasses.

"Whoa!" The Auto darkening mechanism should be in working order prior to purchase. Mine seems to be working just fine. Itʻll be a good idea / note: to customer service. Thanks for the heads-up just the same.

I have the same question. Looks like the lights are gone with out notice. In fact I thought it's not working since there to light, but looks OK afterwards. What is disturbing is that as an owner of old model I was not aware of the missing lights...

No. It's way too dark. More of a hazard but the backs come out great. I did the front side lights and they are blacked out very minimal amount of light. I left the front ones alone.

Mine does the same thing and it works perfectly - my suggestion is don't worry about the lights - also, sometimes you have to give the system time to change so don't be in a big rush - good luck, I really like it.

Mine too - the switch on the shifter only seems to have two contact points - Park and Reverse. I tested this switch with an Ohm meter when I installed the shifter and then again a few weeks ago, thinking I missed something on the first go around. All I have been able to determine is that Park allows the ignition circuit to engage and reverse operates the back up lights. Honestly, I am not real thrilled with my Sports Shifter for this and a few other quality issues (like reverse doesn't freely engage - almost have to ratchet into reverse, Can get "Park" to line up with the indicator but then each gear down is misaligned). Sorry wasn't more help

Mine does the same thing, it's common with LEDs. They have very little draw and should turn off completely when the car is off.

When the headlamp is dimmed to a certain setting and then turned off, it will turn back on in full power until you dim again to the setting it was previously at. This is great question and we appreciate you sending this to us as I have sent this on to our production team to see what we can do for future models.

Usually. I have noticed if it is on the brightest setting when you turn it off, it sometimes drops down a notch (it has 4 settings). It only does that on the highest setting and not always. I have the previous year's model of this too and it does the same thing. It could be a safety feature because the brightest setting is really bright.

I personally would not black out headlights as a safety factor. Typically making headlights brighter is the trend recently.

Mine do not,but that could be an installation issue.(even though I had it done at a shop). I am planning on disabling them for the state inspection if I cannot find a fix. Even with this at the back of my mind I still really like them and how they help me see during my dark commute.

No, the reverse lights on your vehicle already are brighter. The LEDs on the bar are merely there for added safety and visibility.

It should go down to just the point were the LEDs start to flicker, which is very low light. There is an adjustment you can make before you put the switch cover plate back on.

Nope not that I noticed. Only the cigarette lighter part lights up when it's getting power. I leave mine plugged into rear truck port all the time when not in use

My backlight lights with every push of any button. I would say your phone is faulty. I am not an expert so don't take my opinion to seriously.RegardsJohn
