Auto changing colors on the dash?

How did this guy manage to do that? Or is it a standard feature?
I thought the "ambient lighting" feature was the only one with multiple colors.

That's not the actual lighting of the gauges, he put in the colors afterwards using video editing software. You can tell when he passes by street lights, they are the same color as the gauges.

Someone spent a lot of time and effort rewireing and changeing out all those LEDs. (EDIT). Yea, I guess your theory is right, that was done by photomanipulation.

There is a vender in the UK who offers kits to change the lighting.

I think that changing thing would get tiring real quick. Not to mention distracting. Kind of like a pop song that's real catchy and by the 4th time you've heard it, you want to barf.

I noticed the same...I'm guessing he did it to show people what it would look like if the LEDs were replaced?
