As the title says... has anyone changed their Abarth 500 instrument illumination colours?
I found a guide at https://www.fiatforum.com/500-guides/421744-changing-instrument-illumination-colour.html?p=4045963
Somewhat familiar because, umm, I wrote it scary when you’ve completely forgotten making a guide...
I’m now thinking of doing the same to my Abarth, except I might use cooler white LEDs rather than the warm white LEDs I used before.
I just find the orange a bit dark and hard to see the needles against; it doesn’t match the LCD’s orange very well. Since the numbers are smaller than the Lounge’s retro-styled digits, I think a cooler white (“brighter”) will be OK.
On a related note, has anyone arranged for the boost gauge to be illuminated during the daytime? Hard to read otherwise.
