My father bought a used 1992 ford crown victoria ls. When you turn on the park or driving lights, the entire dashboard is so dim you can hardly read the speedometer. I have been driving the car for my father and it is an accident waiting to happen. In the evening, the problem resolves itself, it is during the day.
