The gauge cluster lights are always on. When your low beams are off, the gauge lights are actually brighter. They are electroluminescent so if there was no light shining through them at all times we would not be able to see the gauge.

How do you know the ashtray light and trunk lights are always on? Do you open the ashtray and trunk to check on them? Cause they are activated by the opening of the ashtray or trunk. When those two are closed, the light is actually off.
