Territory at Night - Ford Forums

back2thefutura · 08-25-2004, 03:59

As yet, we havent' had the chance to drive a Territory at night. This normally wouldnt matter, but i have heard a few complaints about the instrumentation, in particular its colour at night.

Do any owners have any trouble with this, or is it just a minor detail?

Also, if someone could please post up some pictures of the cluster at night (i realise it's a hard thing to get a good pic of), that'd be great.

I've never had any problem with my Ghias instrumentation at night, but I think it may be different to the TX. The Ghia has white backlighting.

What..you mean you haven't sneaked out at night just to sit in the car in the driveway or suddenly offered to do the grocery shopping at 10.30pm and taken the long way there and back...damm, I suddenly have the urge to buy and new car...

Curls,

havent bought one as yet - thats why i wanna know!

So the Ghia's cluster is white, what about the TS? (That's the model I'm specifically interested in).

Just drove my TS for the first time at night.

The instrument panel is GREAT.. Don't stress!

I'll try to get a pic later.

Sorry, I realise that, I rather badly described my own behaviour as I never got to drive our BA much at all for the first few months and started to make up reasons to go out alone (ie. no baby or wife) at night, even things like "need to check the tyres at the servo, they seem low"...
