    Lightbulb What color combination LEDs/lights in the dash board would you like to see?

    I personally like to see more red, blues, and a black digital speedometer with a white background.

    White gauge lights with blue needles, but not too blue.

    I like blue/green tones better. However red tone is clearly less subtle. If the come with red/white combo Id be estatic. Ill be ok with either direction provided there are no blue LEDs.

    This is just fine with me:




    However, if this actually glows. Not cool:

    yep, I don't like the glowing also. I don't need this "glam" effect on such a car. Or if Toyota or Subaru wishes to have it, then please please please make it optional. This way clients who doesn't like it will not ask for it. Correct???
    The display would be great in red and white, however I would prefer a somewhat darker red, not this pinkish tone.

    I want to switch the speed and rpm gauges. I would figure it wouldn't glow as that would be hell on ones eyes.

    I think the dash is perfect, so long as it dims.

    I agree with Exitspeed. I just hope they don't try to cram way too much information inside that single gauge cluster.

    I like blue for color. I have a stereo faceplate with selectable colors and I think that's very doable in a car dash. I do like the 240sx black on white switch to white on black.

    I think it's very important to not have a brightly glowing display that other can see your face at night.

    Innovative, modern, weird, different for the sake of different displays and guages are annoying (like the fuel and coolant temp bar graph shown above). I do however like the video game track thing, but not as the dominant centerpeice of the display.

    Tach and Speed need to be clear and most important, then maybe gas, coolant temp, oil temp and battery/ alternator current would be nice, clock and odometer in the bottom middle, turn signals in the upper corners, toggles in the lower right corner (high beams, TCS mode, etc.) and dummy lights in the lower left corner.

    soft red is easiest on the eyes and doesn't light up the cabin like a Hollywood movie...

    I stand by my original statement of letting us choose colours! lol

    But it'll probably end up being the standard Scion/Toyota colour of the year.

    Red makes me think of my old STI's dash..



    It's alright, but it always seemed so orange to me. I'm more a fan of white these days. Maybe blue.
