Instrument panel questions

[tprjimmi]

I really enjoy my new(to me) 2011 Genesis but I'm not all that impressed by the "uninspired" instrument display. I haven't yet purchased a maintenance manual and wonder how to access the panel so as to replace the back-lighting bulbs. Many after market sites offer chrome bezels to dress up the speedometer/tach area; are these available for the Genesis? TIA to all.

Sorry about the re-post; nothing showed on the main site(still doesn't).

I believe the instrument cluster uses electro-fluorescent gauges, so not sure they can be replaced with stock bulbs. I don't recall seeing any chrome bezels to dress up the speedometer/tach area, but maybe others have.

While not high tech or flashy, I find the instrument cluster functional, clean, and easy to read. It feels high end (electroluminescent) without screaming high end.

The 2012-2014 Tech/R-spec has the color LCD cluster which I personally think is more cohesive, while 2009-2011 has the older type monochrome LCD center cluster .

Note sure if they can be swapped around between models?

Another thing to look at is to dress the cluster with a variant of this simple mod, using any old smart phone/tablet you may have around.
