2017 instrument panel backlight color?

Anyone know if they'll still be red? I haven't seen any pics with the gauges lit up. I've always liked red backlit gauges and hope they keep them that way.

Are you sure? From the pictures I'm seeing, I've only seen white.

Sorry, I must have seen the centre instruments and gotten confused, best to just check them in person.

And those pics are all JDM so we don't know what we will have here yet. Could be the same could be different.

So yea I think it's almost for sure it's going to be white if you go here and press interior lighting it shows white at night.

That's a damn shame. Red backlit gauges are kind of an obsession of mine. They really help with seeing things at night. This would almost be a dealbreaker in getting the new BRZ's.

This really isn't hard to change at all.

They're easy enough to change but still a pita. I'm seriously considering paying ways with my 13 and getting the new one
