Default I'm seeing red!!!

Or at least I was after I hit 100MPH!

I set the orange glow around my speedometer to come alive at 75MPH, however I noticed earlier last week that the orange glow turns to red after you hit 100MPH+.

Just thought this was a cool little feature.

It's one of the options, you can set it to glow at any speed with one of the buttons - additionally the same can be setup for the odometer, it can be set to glow at any RPM.

Nice car btw. I love that color on the Evos!

Probably considering the way I have been driving it!

But it's still slow next to my 3000!

Not sure yet... I wondered that too though... seamed to coincidental though...


I'll test it!

If you set the orange lower, will that also set the red lower?

For those who are curious . Sorry for the bad quality, taken with a camera phone. Red only comes on at 100+, you cannot set it. I tried setting my yellow/orange to 70 and it doesnt turn red on 95.




Topped it at 125 before i slowed down
