Temporary annoyance reduction for warnings

Just thought I'd share my approach to reducing one of the main (minor) annoyances - warning lights.

First step was to install the Owl screen protectors (tinted). This reduces the brightness of the error/indicator lights in the binnacle and seatbelt lights above the mirror. This was a great start.

Then, I have a sequence of warning lights for various safety systems that like to error out. Adding insult to injury, I change my own oil and live four hours from the nearest dealer, so I have a permanent service light, then we get the 2026 service bug. Many can be turned off with the left stalk. Some seem to continually recur. I commute two hours a day and this is annoying and distracting. So I bought some static cling dimming sheet from Amazon and cut it to size. If you try, you can still see the warnings, etc., but they are significantly dimmer.

Now, the one that is a work in process. The ADAS and associated warning lights. I shut mine off, it is useless to me. I found a 3D print file that is a mask that covers the ADAS warning lights. Note that I am new to 3D printing and my son only had blue filament, so I printed a prototype in blue PLA. I have black ABS on the way to make this virtually invisible (ABS because PLA shrinks in high heat).

So there are downsides - this might mask or hide legitimate warnings. Until Ineos fixes these things, it is a risk I'm willing to accept.

YMMV, caveat emptor.

You could try these Raybans from the new Ineos Black range.
