Oh PLEASE no more warning lights on the instrument panel!



I'm about to put a piece of duck tape over the "Your headlights are on" warning light because at first glance (having never owned a car that "warned" me of the patently obvious with the headlights )it looks like the one for "Your high beams are on."

It's like the big GREEN indicator light that the cruise control *system* is turned on (in addition to the bigger/greener one that says that the cc is set.) I like the way the Civic does that one better: the "the system is on" light is an LED on the power button for the cc, not on the instrument panel.


But then, the Civic has a much more groovy light show with the charge/assist functions. It's so big and bright (I like it) that one can almost hear The Village People singing in the background.
