Which car interior lighting colors do you like most ? And on which car?
I like Audi's red and white, which reminds me of a jet fighter cockpit. Also, Lexus's white and blue is modern and pleasing. Are they still putting green in their latest models? What's the new RX and HS have for the center console buttons? I'm hoping the next IS goes all blue and white.

The Ford Mustang, unique among American-market cars, has what is probably the best solution to the problem.....a variable-dash-light control that allows you to select any one of some 125 colors. The fact that it can be mass-marketed and sold in a car of the Mustang's price shows that it is not an expensive or overly-complex piece of equipment, either.

I like the BMW lights.

Same in a car. I never liked the red/orange lights that Pontiac, BMW, the Lexus IS300, some Mazdas, and some older Audis used.
My Subaru Outback actually combines red and white......white for the primary gauges (where I feel it is most important), and an odd combination of red and white for the center dash/climate control.

Lexus speed gauges are one of the best.

Since I haven't driven a Mustang for a couple of years, I'm going to have to pop by the Ford dealer and see for myself how the new system works.

Ford made a big deal about that when the last-generation Mustang came out. With the first models, you had to go through a service-procedure (I don't know the specifics involved) to actually change the color (you had a choice of some 125 colors). Later, Ford modified the system to allow you to do it from inside the car.

I think the future of dash display will be like the Range Rovers, a large LCD screen.

I agree it's a good idea, but Ford may (?) have a patent on it. If so, that restricts it to use in Ford-owned vehicles only for a set time (I'm not enough of a lawyer to know the details). Still.....it makes you wonder why other Ford vehicles don't have it.

I am sure any car company can develop there own part....Lets face, car companies buy new model cars all the time and take them apart to see how there made...

I think it is a great idea...I am surprised cars like the Scions, Mazda 3's, Civics don't have this feature. This would be the perfect feature to sell the car to those trendy folks that like that kind of the stuff...there is a huge market for aftermarket dash gauges and shocking that the car companies have not tried to capitalize on this.
