Instrument Cluster Light

Can anyone advise me on what the instrumet cluster looks like at night ie.what colour it creates etc. A general sense of how the cabin intruments feel like as a whole at night would also be interesting. I read somewhere else about 'blue light'? Sounds odd! Any pictures would also be appreciated.

Its Green light. Looks OK at night, although the sat nav can be a bit bright. The sat nav dims itself to the ambient light level, but takes a while to settle down.

Many thanks all, pleased to see that there are no blue lights (refered to in an article I recently read). Is there a dimmer switch to increase/decrease the intensity of the light?

Disco3 has arrived and picking up next Tuesday!!!

There is a blue/white led light infront of the interior light ( Small black hole)which lights up the centre console. Try putting you hand over the hole with the lights on at night. I think it is called waterfall lighting.

Disco duck, is this blue light a courtesy light that you turn on, or a light that is permently on when you have the side/headlights illuminated?

the water fall lighting os on only when side or main headlights are on. dims with the instrument lighting too.

can't really see the point of the waterfall light as its not that effective unless you drive with the instrument lights on full... and this is too distracting for me.

This was a "borrowed" photo from a review comparing the LR3, X5 and Touareg. It has some good pics, but it's written in Russian! http://www.autoreview.ru/new_site/year2004/n22/bigtest/1.htm

I wish I understood Russian as I would be curious to now the results of the test against the BMW and VW. Nice photos though.

It looks like a great and interesting review... if only they did an English version on the web.

The Toerag got a bit stuck I see and seemed to be still there when it got dark Wink

Love the picture of the VW doing ballet on that pile of stones and the DISCO3 doing high speed cornering !

Martin... one of your university dons must know Russian and could translate for us !! Maybe just the interesting bits and not all the stuff we already know.
