Is there any way to have lighting in a 96 constant (on all the time) like the current models...it would really be nice.<p>Jeff

Turn your headlights on all the time. : - )<p> Greg "S"

i redid my previous car (1991 laser) to be like this-- i only want face guages at night!!<p>1996 a4 2.8 qms

Randall, have you spent any time in a 98 model? The gauges are backlit (like all guages, I suppose) and the backlighting is on all the time, BUT... in daytime driving situations, you don't notice it because the light in front of the gauges (sunlight) is brighter than the backlighting.<p>When the front light source is less than the backlighting, that's when you notice the guages. Examples of this would be at night or when you drive through a tunnel, or underpass. In these situations, you would not be able to see your gauges unless you turned on your lights.<p>You could (and maybe should) turn your lights on in these situations, but the point is, you can always see your gauges, but they don't look like they are lit up as they do at night. In fact, the markings look white during the day, and red at night (or when they are lit). It's a pretty neat effect.<p>Drew S.<br>

Ok....I want to get a chip, etc., type of answer, not just jokes, funny as they may be.<p>:-)<p>Seriously, this would make the car easier to deal with in parking garages, etc., and just nicer overall. Is there a 98 part that can be put in a 96???<br>tia<p>jeff
