yellow.

the variation i think is based on the requirements of the traffic laws for a particular country.

edit: ok i didnt realised what he meant... now that he cleared it up... its got nofin to do with traffic laws if its the interior. mine also is green.... i think (running to car to check for sure now)

What would traffic laws have to do with interior lighting?

I am not sure what you are talking about. If you are refering to the interior gauge color. It is bright white, unless you dim the inerior light then it would turn in my case to blue and red. Is this what you are talking about? or is it the color of the headlights, which is blue/white on HID unit

I reckon it is green. The colour balance of the picture is probably off.

Blue would be for the high beam indicator light.

The green light is for the fog lights isn't it? When I turn my fog lights off, the green light goes away, but the main lights still stay on. It's the fog light indicator, not the main light indicator.

OK. I'm wrong. Just like any argument with my wife. :)

Just went out and checked. It is not the fog light indicator, it's the main light. I'm an idiot. :) :o

OK, just snuck out of my edit session for a minute to go check mine. It's GREEN . I also checked the photo you referenced. Looks like the color is off. This happens when you shoot a predominately dark area with a few bright spots. The darker images are lightened to make them more visible, but this also brightens everything so a bright green will get more washed out. Also, check the red/blue lights on the gauges. Looks a little more like magenta in the pic than the actual red that it is.

I'm sure his is green too, but the whitebalance of the camera has made it look yellow.

The guy says his is green. Color distortion is a problem with digital cameras.
