Check for broken/disconnected wire in the connector. IIRC, if the wire that signals 'lights on' is broken/interrupted the clock /display remains on bright.

Only one button on my speedo, for trip setting, tried and and didnt do anything but thanks for trying!!
Asnyways I kinda' like the clock as it is now, brighter, so I can read it when driving at day time with my lights on
but i'll still check for the wiring to see if something came loos.

If the OP only has 1 button on there instrument cluster then they have a non plexed car & will have a dash dimmer wheel next to the headlamp leveler

Check the dash dimmer wheel is working correctly, when they fail its normally fully on or fully off, its just a variable resistor on non plexed 206's.

I'd try cleaning the connector plug on the display.
