Gear Indicator and Eco Light dimming

Hi all,

I concede, this is more a question of intrigue than any kind of significant problem, but I still felt it worth asking.

For my 2012 v, on long night drives, I appreciate the "blackout" setting of the dimmer switch. However, it leaves on the Eco light and the gear indicator on the combination meter (gauge cluster). Speedometer, odometer, fuel gauge, power indicator all disappear, but not the eco light and the gear indicator.

I'm curious if that's the same for all of the v's? Or if mine is defective? Or if it was revised with later years and they also disappear then (and whether that would work in mine), etc.?

(I know the Eco light can be disabled altogether via settings, but that's my Good Person Validation, dammit!)
