Dash lights not working

Just had the windows tinted including the windshield and know the dash lights will not come on. And it’s not dimmer. Is there a button or something on the iDrive I have to reset or do. Vehicle is 2020 M550

No dash lighting? Not even with the headlights on? Or, are you referring to the issue where the dash stay more dim (night lighting) during the day?

Well I parked in the garage and the dash lights were illuminated. But I pulled out of the garage and they dimmed. The dimmer by the headlight knob is all the way up. So I know they are working. I just don’t know how to have them illuminate while driving during day like they were before the tint. Is there a switch or a setting with dimmer or on iDrive?

Looks like your tint installer screwed up by covering your light sensor. If it dims, it's because your car thinks it's night time.

No I’m an idiot. It comes on fine at night. I was just flipping out
