I have a 2006 caddillac dts. There is an intermintent issue with the headlight and dashboard. They sometimes go into the nighttime mode in the daytime and it is very hard to see the dashboard when driving. I' searched google and found that other people have the same issue. Gm told me they have no fix for this and it is not a big issue. Since they only have few complaints.they di d fix this in the 2007 model but they say even though it is the same model and body they cannot do anything. You also cannot use the flash yo pass headlight in the daytime.it only works in the night mode.
