I'm sure I jsut didn't look hard enough in here but I wonder if there is a way to keep the guages lit at all times. I keep my headlights on automatic so they just turn on when they want to but sometimes it's not dark enough to trigger the lights but I would like the guages and radio to light up. I'm sure someone will tell me to just turn the headlights on and it should work but it does not. The guages light up when they want to and only when they want to. I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section or if there is already a thread for this.

Ben, See the post below:
http://www.g6performance.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1404
There is a TSB about no backlit gauges in daylight, and GM has a fix for it.
You should be able to find it if you look it up on Edmunds.com if you click on the link at the bottom of the post I linked you to above.

I really don't care in my car, or I'd get it repaired per the TSB. But I can see some situations (like if it gets almost dark in a rainstorm) where you might need / want to have your dash lights on in the daytime.
EDIT...I looked it up for you. This is the actual TSB on that particular issue:

Technical service Bulletin TSBs from the Manufacturer
They are things for garages to look for as common possible problems with a specific vehicle.Hurricanes are like women : when they come, they're wet and wild, but when they leave they take your house and car.
