Default Internal dash cluster light sensor.

I assume it is the one on the passenger side? A driver in another thread said the driver side is for the automatic headlights.

Has anyone detached it? Anyone know where it leads under the dash?

I want the cluster at full blast all the time. The rest of the lights do not change anymore as I have swapped them for LEDs.

The one on the passenger side is the solar load sensor for the automatic climate control. The auto headlight sensor controls the dimming of the gauges too.

Ah. Any idea where exactly it leads or if it can be popped off without severe difficulty?

You'll basically have to pull the dash to remove or unplug it, the wiring runs along the underside of the dash toward the center of the car parallel to the windshield. I don't think you'd have any chance of getting at them without removing the dash.
