January 29, 200917 yr I got rid of that damn 'door lock' warning light on my loyale I was in the dash for something else, I'm not going to miss the dumbest warning light ever cluttering up my panel
January 29, 200917 yr Author say, i was in a hurry last night to put it all back in so i could drive this morning and left the car outline window out... (the little image of the car that rides over the center panel caution lights) you know what? i kind of like it without the car outline, it's very clean, just a black panel with those backlit indicators for the door open etc... I may not put it back, it really is easy on the eyes, very very clean oh, i suppose it didn't seal as tightly as it could and some dust might get in there without the plexiglass window... oh, i got rid of the door/key chime too... annoying when you want to open the door and listen to the radio to have it pinging away

January 30, 200917 yr Author just to clarify: is this the digidash? seems that trunk lock is also a stupid light tinkerbell is easy to get rid of lol, yes tinkerbell was a goner as soonas i realized it was right where she lived, re: trunk lock light, yes that is also stupid and should be terminated I'm not sure what the 'digidash' is, but it sounds good, maybe something more modern? this is on a '90 loyale rs (non turbo) in between the tach and speedo is a vertical cartoon of the car, the high beam indicator, doors etc are illuminated there, plus the 4x4 etc tell you what, if i can borrow a camera i'll post some pics, I really think it looks much better without the outline of the car, it's just a gloss black panel by day but when you open a door or something it suddenly has a clean symbol for it very uncluttered looking, it's definitely growing on me
January 30, 200917 yr nice to have a plane black panel, see attached link http://brandendesign.com/images/gl/GL_dash_3893.jpg Edited January 30, 200917 yr by subiemech85 link
January 30, 200917 yr It was actually a reminder to lock the doors as a safety precaution. A locked car driving down the road is usually more solid in a crash. All that aside I think its stupid too. You know your doors are locked or not. If they wanted it so bad they would have made the doors lock automatically after a certain speed.

January 30, 200917 yr Author I hate that "feature" self locking doors me too, gotten in a few power struggles with them myself...

All that aside I think its stupid too. You know your doors are locked or not. If they wanted it so bad they would have made the doors lock automatically after a certain speed. the weird thing is that, back when dirt was new and I took driver's ed, they taught us to NOT lock our doors when we were in the car - in an accident it could hamper someone from being able to open the door and help you but, yes, there are holes in that idea - I know I wonder if being locked or unlocked really makes a dif in crash safety - as long as the door is engaged at the striker, does it really matter?
January 30, 200917 yr Ever since I swapped my power belts for a more less-choking-hazard version my belt light flashes.... I need to fix that still.:-\
February 1, 200917 yr Author Here is the cover I accidentally left out, yes, my camera is from the future before I had put everything back together, I kind of liked it and just went with it, at a fast idle with nothing indicated it is just a glossy black here is the normal stuff except the parking brake light, I think this is much less cluttered looking and easier on the eyes - even if it was a minor mistake that showed it to me I kept the lens cover of course, I can always add it back. what do you guys think? do you think it looks better and more modern too?
