yeah that started with the Lexus in the early 90's. Electroluminescence dash gauges. I'll say that it makes things a lot easier to read in the daytime...but I find a good amount of drivers turn the dimmer all the way up..so their face gets all lit up at night. They don't realize that they will have much better view if they turn the brightness down.
