I swear it didn't start doing this until recently, but when I turn my headlights on the interior light for the radio, clock and miles dim. It wouldn't be a problem but when it's raining or cloudy, while it's still daylight and I turn my headlights on I can't see the clock, radio, ect. Does anyone know how to fix this. Thanks in advance.

when i got my sedan back from the dealer, I sat down and looked at the radio and I thought it was off... so i hit the on/off button and nothing happened... I hit it again, and still nothing... I was about to go back inside and ask them why they broke my radio and didn't tell me until I realized the headlights were on and the dimmer was all the way to the bottom. good thing I figured it out before I yelled at the service guy. hahaha.

check the dimmer rotary switch. if that's not the issue, i'd be curious as to what it is. let us know!

some of the Koup EX's DO have the problem where it shuts the DASH LIGHTS off when the HEADLIGHTS are on. when i worked at the kia dealership, we had 2 Koups like that, and a borrego whose heater didnt work, and another borrego whose brakes didnt function correctly
