Driving with the hi-beams on is almost too painful. The bright blue from the hi-beam indicator just about nullifies the point of having the brights on. I can't see the road as well 'cause there's a bright blue light beaming in my face! Holding my hand to block the hi-beam indicator and I see a noticeable difference looking out the windshield.

Does this bug anyone else? Have you done anything about it? Can we do anything about it?

It hasn't bothered me, just curious, what color do you have yours set to, mine is set to blue. It may be the two colors clashing that is causing the problem.

I have mine set to red.

That's a good point, it may seem brighter by contrast. I'll have to set to blue and see what that does.

What bugs me is the redline red part of the tack. I glance at it, and i think one of the warning lights are on.

Take a small piece of black electrical tape and put it over the light so that just a little shows through, it's not that noticeable and cuts the glare.

Set my dash to blue last night and it didn't seem as in-your-face-bright. Cycled through other colors and some were, some weren't. So I guess its just me.

Got to pick a new color for those hi-beam moments...or just tape it off.
