White Illuminating Gauge Cluster?
Hey guys, watching some YouTube clips (mainly of competition betwee JB4 335s and 550s) and I caught this silly short clip:
Now before someone catches the wheels and says it's actually an AMG, there's no quad exhaust. What gauges are those??? They glow white and the needles glow white as well. Did that start in 08 and I just missed it? I love that look.

Those are what are usually called white face gauges. They came standard on some cars depending on the interior color - or maybe is was just the designo editions - I'm not sure. Anyway, they are not common but they are not rare either.

From what I've seen, all the black birds eye wood interiors come with the white gauges. That's what I'm guessing

Not bad if you get a used one off e-bay. It used to be that you could not program your miles to it, but there is recent DIY post about swapping your electronics to the new faces.
