Default Speedometer warning color line change

I think that yellowish-orangish line light warning at 75-80 MPH is cool.
That's all!

You know you can change it right? I have mine set for 45 since I'm usually on surface streets.

It becomes a red light as well once you hit a 100, not that I'm encouraging driving at that speed.

You can change the one on the tachometer too.

I didn't know about the 100 MPH red or the tach color change.
How can I change the speedo to 70MPH?

Page 111-113 of the manual.
Only the orange lights (speedo & tacho) can be changed though, not the red one.

I hate it when they use that in the manual.....with the car in the "ON" position....it makes it sound like an RC car

Does it go red in the 06 or 07? I have the 07, and it doesn't show up on mine.
