Default Re: Dashboard lighting

Hey all! Been a while....quite a while ago, I converted my speedo/tach guage face to the British SLK320 face (cream with amber lens). This allowed me to convert all lamps in gauge cluster to red LED - the amber lenses make a nice warm red-orange glow. I did note that there is a spot for a lamp in the "out-of-fuel" lens, but the actail lamp and housing were missing from factory (mine's a 2004). I wonder if it was not an intentional factory delete (silly americans never run low on gas, too cheap here?). Also, I reworked all switches in dash to red leds (very time consuming and you need wee tiny leds!). So I have (very) red illumination all over.....but I did have an extra lamp housing (pretty cheap from dealer), installed LED, and wa-la, low fuel does work...why they left lamp and fixture out is beyond me.....
