Heating dials - do they illuminate?

Anyone tell me if the red/blue segments around the temp dials in the D4 are meant to illuminate?

Obviously not meant to by the looks of it. Bit odd, never had a car without the red/blue bit illuminated before.

True but does it really matter as the display tells you anyway and its always the cold to the left with hot on the right. Smile

Yes, I get that. Just think the red/blue would look nice lit up. I feel a mod coming on!

Funny that, I have never had a car where it does light up.
You have the digital temp display to guide you as to where you are. Much more accurate than red and blue lights part the way round a dial.
However, I'm interested to find out about this mod if you go ahead with it.
Cheers

Has anyone had these off already? Are they translucent?

Back in the day you would set a pointer n the dial to whatever mix of hot and cold you wanted, but as has already been stated above you now have a digital value of the set temp. Does it really need illuminating when there is an overhead lamp doing just that to the console...

Probably not. I just like plenty of colour in my dash board.
