Default Help please on instrument lights

Does the instrument lights stay on at all times or only when headlights are on?

Thank You

they are on with the parking lights. they also come on with the interior lights. when you leave your car and lock it the interior lights turn off, but the instrument panel lights seem to stay on for a while and then turn off. kinda strange actually.

Thanks, I test drove one yesterday and had a hard time seeing the cluster. Must have been the lighting or heavy window tint.
