Dashlights

Hi all. This is my first post. I really like this forum. Lots of good information here.
I have a 09 HHR SS that is having a problem with the dash lights. Most of the time they are real dim even on the brightest setting, then they may come on real bright and you can't dim them. Took it to the dealer today and they said it is made that way because of the sensor, but it does it in bright sunlight and at night. Hope this makes sense. Anyone have any ideas. Thanks.
