Hmmm, you must be running the Euros. I can hadly even tell when the
headlights in my 200 are on. I just drive real hard, and use the glow of
the turbo and the brakes to see by.

On a more serious note, I have been having trouble with the dash lights
in my 200. Twice when I have turned on the headlights, all the warning
lights come on, both turn signal indicators illuminate (continiously,
not blinking) and the display screen does not dim. Coincidentally, both
times this has happened has been upon entering the Eisenhower tunnel on
I-70 (elavation about 10k feet, if that makes a difference.) Any ideas?
Or do I just have a high altitude gremlin?
