2021 Gauge Question

[Jacrowley4114]

Thanks for the add.
Just drove home my new 2021 GTLine. Love it. Is there a way to change even if aftermarket to change the gauge color scheme?

Howdy and welcome. I don't know what a "gauge color scheme is"?

 

[Jacrowley4114]

The color of the display. Stock is blue, but would love to have red.

He's talking about the MID in between the speedometer and tachometer. The 2.0T models get a black-and-white only display... it's not terrible but looks ancient compared to the full color MID in the GT+ models.

I assume there is no financially reasonable way to upgrade it to full color.

I know it's dreaming, but during daylight hours I would love the gauges to be white face, but at night red backlit if that makes sense.

<<facepalm>> I completely misunderstood the OP's question... he's indeed talking about the backlight of the physical gauges.

That being said I'd still love to have a full color MID...

My 5 series BMW does exactly that automatically using a light sensor so when darker such as night, in a garage or a tunnel the theme change (including cluster, GPS screen and ambient lights). I wish the Stinger does too. It is ideal to have a day and a night theme, especially a night theme that reduce eyes fatigue

OP to achieve what you're looking for you would need to determine what type of led bulbs are used in the cluster and purchase red replacement bulbs. I don't think anyone on this site has done this yet so you would be the first but I'm sure it's possible.
