If it is white than that just shows how crappy white gauges look at night and the very reason why I didn't want them. The white ends up reflecting so you get white letters on a dull white face.. looks horrible at night.

However, the other illumination looks amber/red, so does Scion really mismatch the illumination like that? White on gauges and amber/red on hvac/audio buttons/etc?
