When I got my car, I found that odd, as most other manufactures have them backlit. I was used to the backlit gauges on my Civic. After awhile you get used to it no not being backlit.

None of my cars were ever backlit. Just another way to not realize your lights aren't on.

Thanks guys I will definitely get used to it. Yeah my VW Tiguan back lights in White during the day and red during the night. Does anyone know where the photo sensor is on these cars?

Lexus, Honda, Toyota, Ford, Chrysler, GM, Chevy, and a lot of other manufactures do. Maybe you should do some research before saying they don't.

Yeah my older BMW used to do it as well, I used to play around with the photo sensor, and shine a flash light on it and saw the dash lights get bright and dark.

Your Pistachio Green 316ti?? Wow, you certainly had a special E46. Neither of my E46s had that.
