Coding instrument cluster backlighting permanently on

Hi, is it possible to code the instrument cluster's backlighting to be permanently on, regardless of the headlights are on or off? Coming from Audi this was very nice, now I struggle to see the gauges during the day time.

Exactly - I've been looking for this as well. I've only found the setting the cluster to daytime (white) at night which is not what I'd like.

Thanks

What's the code for this? I've tried to code the instrument cluster back light to white at night with no luck. Only orange.. So I was thinking we are limited to one colour because of hardware.

Not worried about the colour, just want them lit all the time regardless of the headlights being on or off.
