dash lights work at night but not during the day. I cannot read the speedometer during daylight.

You can try putting on your park lights and Make sure the instrument panel brightness control  
is in full bright position. See “Instrument Panel Illumination Control" in your Owner Manual. or you can purchase a after-market speedometer gauge. there are plenty to choose from.
