Instrument panel GQV

[noblualfa]

Does anyone know how the instrument panel is lit ?
Does not seem to show bulb location for the panel in my handbook?
LED ?
LCD , normal bulb ?
???

If anyone does find this out, I'd love to know if I can ditch the so-called 'sporty' white illumination in the G, and go back to what has been properly and perfectly sporty enough in my 147 and GT for the last 8 years - ie, red.

Its ironic that loads of other marques have copied Alfa over the last few years by using red illumination to comes across more sporty or classy. Then Alfa ditches the red for horrid white.

Sorry, rant over, its one of my absolute gripes with recent Alfa interiors and is only my opinion. I really should start worrying about less trivial matters instead

I thought that some of the G's came with Red and some White?

Red has been done to death anyway, you never know, you might be sat here in a few years going 'I love the white, I love the fact that Alfa switched and now everyone else is copying them'.

It will be the same as all the other Giulietta models except those which have red.

True. Anyway, yes, I think the Turismo spec comes with red illumination, unless I'm mistaken? Haven't actually seen any pics of what red looks like on the G anyway, it might be even worse

red= if you want to look like an audi?!

Nope, Audi went white on their dials a few years ago (after being all red for a while). That's why I hate white dials even more
