Gee not on my car. With the lights off the instrument panel is very VERY bright. But when I turn the lights on, everything gets pleasantly dim, so it's very easy to tell (even in daylight) when the lights are turned on.

Since the US models don't use Daytime Running Lights I tried it for a day with the headlights on, but the instrument panel was just TOO dim with the lights on during the day. (I'm one of the three people on the planet who really LIKES having daytime running lights on.)
