Ahem, cough, ummm
Well, I may have made a "slight" mistake here. I based what I said on what I saw this morning. I started the car up in my garage and looked at this, it looked quite red to me. It is also sitting in a groove that goes all the way around the tachometer range and the piece with these lines on it look like it can move (in a way similar to how the cruise control speed indicator can move). I then looked at it several minutes later while I was driving and it was white.
I am now thinking I may have been fooled by the VERY amber instrument panel lighting that came on in the garage because my light switch was in the Auto position. I will double check again tonight after I let the car cool completely.
But my enthusiasm is waning. Sorry if I got other people's hopes up
