Default Instrument Panel "Christmas Tree" - annoying?



Just purchased a 2018 LX570. Wow, there are a bunch of green indicator lights on the instrument panel! There are 10 green indicator lights that can be illuminated while driving, not including the ECO and turn signal indicators! Other than the ECO indicator, I don't think there is a way to turn off the indicator without turning off the feature? It probably would not bother me as much if the green indicators where in a more orderly position rather than the what appears to be a very random placement. I guess in time you will get used to the noisy display - as you can see, I only have 2,500 miles on the LX.

I normally don't use LDA, Easy Exit, and Auto High Beam, Adaptive cruise control will only be on if I am in a long road highway trip. That pretty much eliminated half of them......

I liked older Saab's with night mode...you could shut off all instruments and ip lights. Iirc, you had only the high bam indicator and CEL would come on when appropriate. Seems that's ip's tend to look more like the Vegas strip each year, I disconnected the "D" green indicator within a week of buying our '01 LX it...obnoxiously bright with no way to dim.
