Blue Light Flash
Anyone experience this?
There is something special. At 6300 to 6500 RPM a blue light reflects off the tac needle. The blue flash that hits mye eye is a signal to shift for best MPG. Once again at 7500RPM I get a blue flash signal to shift. If I miss out the beep at 8500 tells me to shift. I love this car! I'm 5' 5" so maybe it's my height and the height of the seat that is causing this experience. This blue flash ( reflection ) only happens on hard acceleration. |
What you bin smokin', boy? :D
Seriously, I never noticed. I'll keep an eye out for it. |
It's the blue light that illuminates the gauges reflecting off the tach neddle. Sorry I can't keep frpm laughing. Go open the door at night and don't start the car you will see the blue shine on the gauges or just have a peak into your cluster and you can see it.

Well you might laugh, but like I said at hard accelleration it sparks a reflection off the needle.
You might have to be a certain height in order to see this. I must be lucky. I ain't stupid. Just hoping the more of you can see it. |
I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you, but while I'm sure you can see the flash, it doesn't mean anything it's no special indicator, it's just a reflection.

Yes, it does depend on your height and proximity to the cluster. It is your (and one other person's) position in relation to the cluster that allows the illumination to reflect to your eye at precisely those points you noted. Cool for you.

who uses the blue lights tho? i always use the white one at night....
|
i use to use the blue...now i'm using white..but i need to switch back to blue...its less harsh on my eyes..*sounds pussy like i know...but i can't see at night the way it is!*
|
I guess I'll have to go back and read my manual closer. Mine has always had 'white' I didn't know you could switch the color. Blue may look cool. I'll have to try and see which i like better.

yea..but make sure your lights are on when you do it! It took me forever to figure out that part *yea, i'm blonde..i know* Its cool..it's blue and red...
|
I use the blue/red. I like it. Makes it blend in the with rest of the red tinted front console. And its plenty bright for me.

Sorry for the slight threadjack, but should the gauges change from white to blue/red on all models? I just picked up my Nordic Green GT last night and it only dims as white but never changes color. I'm not sure that I'd rather not have it that way, but the color change was pretty cool and I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

Flipped it again tonight to see if it would do it and it worked; didn't dawn on me that the headlights had to be on. Cheers |
