Red needles for instruments
I noticed at night the needles on the tach, speedo, and fuel gauge are red, but during the day they are white. Having the headlights on or off does not seem to matter, I think it is related to the ambient light.
Anyone know if there is a way to make the needles stay red all the time? I checked supported options for Bimmercode and don't see it. Maybe in expert mode? |

Painting is an option, but not as ideally reversible. I read somewhere this can be done in e-sys but did not find any more specific details so I just gave up.

if you find out where the ambient light sensor is located, you could cover it up and itll be lit all the time.

Yeah, that could work if the sensor does not affect other things. I have the sensor on my rear view mirror covered to disable the auto-dimming as that is what I have done in all my previous BMWs. I really dislike the dimming side mirrors. Have never actually checked if I could just code that out. Guess I should look.
