I'd be surprised if were happy with any interior coming from an Audi...

In any case, I've never noticed this.

 

Interior lighting quality is definitely subjective and dependent on what kind of cars you drive. I've sat in A4 and yea sure it's great, but I honestly don't expect, or WANT that kind of lighting for my s2k. Plastic and buttons should be kept minimal in a car like s2k.

 

How bright do you guys run your int lights?? I have never noticed this issue, then again i have my dimmer to the lowest setting. I have always hated digi clusters because of how bright they are. At its lowest setting with the lights on or off, its MORE than enough to see whats going on.

Like the new civics; you are driving next to them and you have NO problem seeing what speed they're going. That shit is annoying as ****!

Now, if you're a D-bag and like your lighting all bright and ricey....thats all you.

Int lighting in an Audi is only cool because its such a deep red led. Its nice, but its no deal maker for moi.

 

omg there are bigger problems in the world.

 

There are definitely bigger problems, and I'm not trying to compare the s2000 to anything else. I just want to compare my s2000 to other s2000s to see if mine has a problem or not. I definitely see light bleed, if ANYONE would be kind enough to post a picture of their cluster on the brightest setting... in a dark environment from the passenger (or driver seat at different angles)... that would be EXTREMELY helpful.

Also to repost a question from above:
"Also another quick question that I had... are the button controls on the left side dimmer than the ones on the right side of the steering wheel? Perhaps Honda did this so you wont' be as distracted looking out the left window?"

Again it's just the new car OCD kicking in... I just want to make sure everything is working as perfectly as it can.

Thanks guys

 

Does the cluster backlight lighting use LED's?

 

I have not noticed this on my 08. If you wanna see an ugly interior dash/cluster have a look at the nissan 350z...its full of cheap quality materials and looks even worse.

 

s2000cr

Picture if you can?

 

Ding Ding... I set my cluster to its brightest setting, and i see what you mean.

You can fix it by taking apart the cluster and covering the area on the top where it bleeds...

OR you can dim the brightness a bit

 

I took some iPhone pics so not the greatest quality, but it's still very clear what this thread is about:
