In this video you see when you start the car you get a needle sweep with RED LEDS sweeping on both dials.

on my 2015 C7.5 RS6 I get both needles to sweep too on startup but only the RPM dial sweeps with RED LED. On my right dial theres no RED LED light up. Is this a coding thing ? Or just the later generations cluster implemented RED LED's on the right dial too?

would love to get mine to have red LED on both sides sweeping like this video too.

Does your car have adaptive cruise control?

The red LEDs around the speedo are used to indicate the speed cruise control is set at. You can tell if your car has ACC if the cruise control stalk has a switch to adjust distance, and mostly easily if you've got the round "pods" in the lower front grills. IIRC, there isn't an easy way (if there is a way) to use those LEDs if your car doesn't have ACC.

without ACC do those red LEDS actually exist inside the cluster on the right dial tho ?
