I have an IX MR, im not sure if the same works for the GSR or the RS models but for the MR model, when the headlights are turned on, the clock gets dimmer. I like to keep my headlights on thoughout the day and when there on during the day, the dim clock is not bright enough for me to see, i have to cover the outside light with my hand before i can see the clock. but when the headlights are off, it is bright enough.

My question is, is there a way to not dim the clock while turning on the headlights? i want to keep the clock on its brighter setting all the time even with the headlights on

 

You could probibly find a different power source to run to the clock, from something that is always on, but if you leave your headlights on all day, the HID's will burn out faster, so I wouldnt recommend it.

 

That just gives me a good reason to get 6000K Bulbs

 

go buy a watch at walmart for 5$ ...

 

yea all you have to do is bend back the LIG pin on the clock so when u put the connector back on it the pin doesnt go in the connector

 

this might be in another thread but im just wondering how many k's on the stock hids? thanks

 

4300 K... and which pin do i bend back so it doesnt dim?

 

which pin is this? pic?



point to which one.

 

thats the one

 

so just curious.. what does LIG stand for, and why isnt there a pin in that picture?

EDIT: ahhhhh cus it was bent down... but what does LIG stand for? ima take a guess... Light Indicator Gobble

 

Good info. Thanks for sharing.

 

i wanted to know too....

 

I am really not hoping to read that "mod" listed in anyones signiture

 

Is there a thread in these forums showing how to take out the clock, so I can bend that pin? Does the dash need to be removed for that? Would appreciate links to any available how-to threads!

 

hahahahah
