Default turn off headlight indicator light?

i think the headlight indicator is annoying at night. how do you turn it off? the speedometer looks nice at night time but then you see this one green light which is pretty annoying.

get a black tape, easy fix

while at it might as well block out the parking sensor light

a sharpie ink is almost permanent isn't it? don't use the sharpie, use black tape. if you get rid of your car in the future, the next owner may actually want that green light.

I am a consultant, and so I am familiar with nit-pick and difficult clients, but I think this one takes the cake!

Although I am laughing, I have always thought, that for a car with such great features, LED lightiing, overall interior design, etc., that the headlight/foglight indicators did not fit the rest of the cluster and are very out of place... now, personally, I am not taking steps to rectify (read: rectally adjust, for those of you with humor) Lexus' obvious design flaw, I sorta do, in a weird way, get it....
