Tachometer Gauge reflection on driver side window (03-06)

Since Halloween is coming up... there will be kids on the street on 31st.. some of them might still go from door to door when it's dark

Has anyone notice that there is reflection of the tachometer light on driver side window? (on 2003 to 2006 model)

with the orange reflection, i've always had hard times spotting pedestrians in residential area (when making left turns)

i thought about custom make something that can avoid such problem,

i did a research on this topic but couldn't find anyone talking about it...
anyone ever been bugged by this problem? (or any input, suggestion)


thanks

Also have you tried turning down the brightness, there is a little **** located to the left and below the steering wheel?

yes i have tried that, i can see okay if there is sufficient amount of light in the street, but if it's gets too dark then problem still occurs (i used to live in a city without light at night)

a buddy of mine is also having the same problem and he almost hit some people a several times

maybe i should try and make a DIY post @ this problem.. if people actually care.. lol
