Phil But the question is WHY,it is daylight,why would you need the dash lights on Unless they improved the dash after my March '08 FD, I reckon the dash is easier to read with the lights on in the day time! (like most other cars these days)
I have resorted to leaving the headlights on at all times but then I get sick of good hearted citizens saying, "You've left your headlights on" as I walk away from the car. Then I have to explain to them that they go off automatically after a minute.
You must have remarkable eyes Rick. Many times in daylight, the instruments are so recessed, that I can see SFA. Put the park lights & it's perfect. Also, in lit tunnels, they're pitch black too.
The dash is well lit UNTIL I turn on the parkers at dusk and then it's too dim for my liking until the day gets much darker.

On mine there is a wheel to turn to brighten or darked the i2nstrument cluster which is just above the right jnee. Do you have this one?
I thought they all did.
When driving along with either both the front windows down or both the back windows down there is this thumping sound that the wind generates in my ears and drives me insane. Must be something to do with my ears as no-one else seems to get affected by it.Just wondering if anyone else has this problem?
I have never noticed it before and I have been driving for 20+ years!!! Good to know there are others out there. I don't use the aircon much as it puts me to sleep so I prefer to crack the windows.
I get that too....but it's not something that's limited to the i30, I get it with many cars...
I guess noise comes into mind. In harsh roads, the noise just slips in. In highway, a little bit of wind noise. Anyway my fuel consumption is about 8.8/100km. I reckon it's not great, but bearable since my last car was xtrail.

Do you have this one?Only if the lights have been switched on, and that is not legal in Oz, during daylight, I believe.

I don't use the aircon much as it puts me to sleep so I prefer to crack the windows.I've been driving for 38 years and have had 28 cars of my own and half a dozen work vehicles as well.That drumming / booming noise seems to be worse in the more recent/more aerodynamic models.. I used to tell my Girls when they were little it was illegal to drive with the windows down on the highway.. They worked out I was "cow excrementing" eventually
