I only noticed it because I was in the car wash bay, and it caught my eye when I started the car before turning on the lights.
Is this normal?
Also, who has had success with changing all the backlighting from incadescent lights to led's? I am thinking of replacing each buld with three different colored led's, white, blue, & red, with selector switchs placed in a discreet location to select color.
What do ya'll think?

The question about whether dash lights should always be on was never answered. I am sure that they are on all the time too. I went out last night, whenever the key is in Accessory or run, the dash lights come on, and two rear marker lights also come on, regardless of headlight switch.
Is this normal?
