In the BR182 the gauges are not visible if you drive in the dark. This is very annoying. If you turn the cab light on, you can see this. It is caused because of the way the gauge lights are faked in game.
Add 8% reading light. The dimmer is right under the desk. Before the update, there was no light at all. I am afraid it does not get any better, so i am happy with the current lighting.
HBK release broke the red Taurus speedometer illumination. It was only fixed halfway, the inner glow is still missing since the fix. This is how the Taurus speedometer and other intruments illumination (brightest level) looked like before HBK release: Don't be surprised, the screenshot is very old and the Taurus from an earlier stage. Unfortunately I have very few Taurus screenshots.
