    Default Pretty easy one

    Hi,

    I just have a simple question. You know the automatic gear shift display next to the shift lever- is that supposed to be backlit or not? I can't see it at night and was wondering if that was normal or if I had a bad bulb or the like. Thanks.

    mine was backlit, till i removed the bulb, because i never look there anyway and all it was doing was making my alternator work harder!

    It's only a 1.2w bulb. Do you think the alternator even noticed?
