Show us your gauge cluster warning lights! Here are the ones from Humdrum...aka my 2009 Hyundai Accent hatch:

Not my picture, but it matches.

I think the Kia was running.  Sorry!

You are forgiven! I always liked the Fiesta’s cluster....very modern. The Kia’s isn’t bad either, very clear to read! :)

I miss having an actual temp. gauge on the Accent instead of just an idiot light...my old Subaru used to have a temp gauge and it was nice to know exactly how hot the engine was...

That MPG gauge just looks odd...lol

It’s also completely useless.

One of my complaints on the 2012 3.6R in the family - the 2013 & 2014 Limited trim had a coolant temperature gauge in its place which is infinitely more useful .

This is a 2013, there is no need for a dumb fuel economy gauge, with the instant read out in the dash by the clock.

Certain models of my Accent actually had a temp gauge...I’ve considered finding a replacement cluster in a salvage yard sometime to get one. I could actually use the cluster from an ‘06-’11 Kia Rio as well as they also fit in the Accent!

Here’s one from a Rio with the temp gauge in question that some Accents and Rios got (on the left):

What I like the most though is the 2010-2011 Kia Rio clusters....they have a very cool red gauge design with silver accenting:

Sadly they never made THAT red version with the temp gauge at all, but it s hould be plug and play on my Accent if I could find a manual transmission version of the cluster! :)

I do like me some cyan/blue backlighting...seems like it would be easy on the eyes at night...Humdrum has what I like to call ‘toxic waste green’ :P

It’s actually a lot more yellow in real life compared to that picture...sortof a lime/Mountain Dew-y yellow-green... but that picture gets the point across :P

Very cool, I think greenish yellow would be fun on the right car (and slightly funny on the wrong one)

It’s interesting how blue/green my pic turned out considering it was stock Toyota circa 2005/ 6 with the lights turned off and the sun in my face..

They seem quite bright in your pic! I keep my gauges at minimum brightness because anything higher than that is ridiculously bright...lol
