Default Orange to Red

So I discovered something about my IS250 yesterday,

If you push the gas pedal down a bit more than normal (), you can make your spedometer warning lights change colors, from pre red-out orange to post red-out red.

I think I was up to 120 when I noticed it. go ahead, give it a try if you havent yet, but make sure the cops arent watching.

and to everyone who knew that already, sorry, I was excited about it.

........... Left hand side of the steering wheel there are satellite controls for speedo and tach rings as well as TPMS. You can adjust what speed they turn on..........

those are meant to be a visual warning in case you sometimes get a lead foot on the highway. I set mine at 120

almost had a heart attack though when I was driving my uncles car to Buffalo and this high pitched beep sounded when I hit 140. Thought something was wrong until I looked at the panel.... stupid audi's

You will have to replace the 0603 smd leds the light up the ring. 0603 are tiny so you better bring your A-game soldering skills.
