Default Dash lights question..

New ish S2K owner with a 2005 AP2, In my dash, the tach part, do the numbers illuminate? The indicator of the RPMs lights up on mine, but the numbers do not.. is that the way it is?
Thanks
Scott

Never even thought of this so I checked: From my 1-minute check my 2006 numbers -- and the scales on the temp and fuel -- illuminate when the headlights are on but otherwise just depend on ambient light.

So your tach numbers light up with the headlights on, mine do not.

As far as I can tell they illuminate only when the headlights are on. Along with the scale markings for fuel and engine temperature -- do these illuminate?

Tried holding down the + button to increase dash illumination?

Just confirmed. Neither the tach numbers nor the Cold-Hot nor the Empty-Full notations illuminate when the headlights are Off. They all light up when they're On.

Ok, just took a run back out to the garage to check mine. Indeed they work the same as yours, I've only driven this thing once at night and I guess I didn't pay enough attention to it.
Thanks
