Well, it appears that the EVIC auto-dims even though the headlights do not.

I was driving just before sunset and I turned on my headlights. The EVIC dims when you do that, but apparently I turned on my headlights a little early and I noticed that the EVIC did NOT dim with the headlight switch on. I went into the shadow of an overpass and the EVIC dimmed. A moment after I emerged back into the sunlight the EVIC brightened.

For a little while I got excited that the headlights could be set to automatic, but I've concluded that the EVIC must have its own ambient light sensor. Bummer.

Confirm?

Don, the dash lights are indeed automatic but the actual vehicle lighting is not. Begs the question why have the sensor doing just the dash in this day and age?
