This used to be an indication of your headlights being on!!
How does that work mate. When the lights are in auto they all turn on when the outside light dips. I suspect this more of people with DRLs and auto light function NOT having the light switch in the auto position.

My last 2 X mercs put all the the lights on and, the digital dash goes to a darker colour and the headlamp on light illuminates on the cluster.

Saying all that I'm not fussed by auto lights, I prefer Rain sensors.
