When you have your high beams on the little blue light in the dash is very bright and distracting. And it does not dim with the rest of the panel. Why?
I have yet to drive any car where the high beam indicator dimmed!

Nissan has a habit of adding little features and/or fixing issues with their cars every year.

There are only a very few exceptions when "holding out" might be logical (ie. Major mechanical or electrical problems). But that doesn't seem to be the case for the 370Z as of now.
Some times it's better to wait. A lot of 2003 Z owners ended up filing a class action law suit. They rushed out and bought the 03, the 03 is now one car to avoid buying used.

This is the only car I have ever owned (that's a lot) that has a high beam indicator that is actually distracting at night. I have even contemplated putting a small piece of electrical tape on there to block it. I live out in the country and when there are no lights whatsoever that thing is way too bright.

Try a small round colored filter, like the ones that come with mag lights.

Only problem, getting it to stick on! glue??? I'm not sure about glue, especially on a new car dash!

Sounds like its time to turn on the BlueBat signal.

BlueBat High beam vinyl mod FTW!

I think that was because the 03 were a new Z that came out in a while as in the 09 is jus an upgrade/refreshment of the 350z.

it seems as though the 370z are built solidly.
i could be wrong though....

I had a 2003 350z Touring and the only problem I had was window streaks, otherwise the car was rock solid for 85,000 when I traded it in.
