On a 2015 Seat Leon FR, the instrument lighting may not work with sidelights due to a design change by SEAT. Some models only activate the dash lights when the headlights are on, not with sidelights. Additionally, the light sensor, located in the rev counter, may control when the dash lights come on based on ambient light. This behavior may differ from earlier or later models.
