Position your steering wheel so it covers the light.

yeah, i guess it bothers me because i'm a software interface designer and the headlight bright green indicator looks really out of place against the nice cool ambient light on the cluster. i would have incorporated into the lcd screen at the bottom or something.

well like others have said though, simple black electrical tape will do the trick. i know i hate those shift up lights on manual cars. i always take apart the cluster and cover it with black tape so i dont have to see it constantly come on. black tape is easier like others have mentioned if you ever decide to get rid of the car.

I know what you mean but thats how most of the cars are. I like the Audi headlight switch design, its engineering in its simplist form. The light control is on a big **** on the left side of the driver seat. At night, with no headlight on, one light comes on in the **** to tell the driver where the **** is, when you turn on the headlight, the low beam light on the **** lights up telling you the low beam is on, same with high beam and front and rear foglights. The gauge cluster stays nice and clean looking with no green, red and yellow lights

We are moving way off topic now, but the Audi interior, specifically and especially the A5/S5 series, is the most beautiful interior of cars in this class - IMHO. So, I would completely agree with the statement above, Lexus should take note of how simple the Audi designs are and how functional it is, while integrating all the same technology Lexus has... If it wasn't for the fact that their reliability is suspect and, to me, that devalues a car more than any other aspect, I would have.....

Did I miss something I should have... I looked, believe me - it was rated like a 4.5 out of 10... what'd I miss?
