  Ouch! I HATE that little blue light! :-)

  My eyes are pretty sensitive at night, and I usually have the=20
dash dimmed so it doesn't glare at me. Unfortunately, the stupid
high beam light doesn't dim with the rest of the dash, so sometimes
(depending on how bad my eyes are, which is directly proportional to=20
how long I've been sitting in front of a computer that day) I have to=20
cover it up with one hand, and steer with the other! (I would like to
either dim that light, or make it red instead of blue.) (Red light=20
doesn't affect your night vision. That's on my list of stuff to do
when I get some time...)

   I'm also interested in knowing what it would take to change the=20
color of the engire panel, but I'd like to make it red instead of=20
green, so it won't affect my night vision as much, and so it won't
create such a harsh glare. My FZR600R had amber guages, which was=20
nice.
