Default DIC is dim lately

03 convert -
My DIC is very dim lately during daylight...when you turn the headlights on, it gets brighter.
I assume (always dangerous), that a light sensor has failed. Any idea where is is?

And NO codes...

Thanks,
Plasticman

Low light quality can very well be due to a failing alternator/ poor battery connection and or bad battery . At least on all my cars it’s been the case over the years .
