No the lights do not come on in daylight as far as i know. MY 17 GS do, car senses the light and if it gets dark or in a shaded area the instrument lights come on or brighten up. I think that is your question. Welcome back.

My C8 & C4 did but it’s been 16 years since I had my 1st C5 (a 2003) and don’t remember if the dash gauges lite up or not. Thanks

Yes lights can come on, my 99. Turn 1 click on the headlight switch to turn on the running lights that lights up constant tail lights and dash.
