'89 New Yorker Headlight switch

Hello Everyone,
Since getting my "New" New Yorker about a month ago and all the help from
some one you on this group, I've come across another "Dumb" question...

The headlight knob has three positions. One being the has dash light dimmer
and another being the interior light on. What does the other position do??

I checked the manual and didn't find anything.

As always, Thanks in Advance

On my old 89 NY with the digital instrumentation cluster, when you turn on
the running lights or headlights, the cluster dims. Naturally, if you turn
the lights on in the daytime, the cluster is harder to see. The other
position is to have the cluster in the day mode with the lights on.

 

I had a 1987 LeBaron Convertible, and if memory serves me correct, that
"extra" position on the dimmer brightens all the digital displays to
their "daytime brightness" (i.e. what the clock on your factory radio
looks like when the headlights are turned off). Hope this helps!

Interesting!
Now, I would be like to know if that can be added to other cars.
Are the connectors for these headlight switches the same?
Okay, let's say a '92 Dodge Spirit, hello Daniel Stern.

Thanks.
