Selectively illuminated area of an instrument panel gauge

A gauge having a selectively illuminated areas to enunciate different quantities, engine speed ranges with different-color indicators, the gauge comprising:

• a dial having a center and a peripheral edge, the peripheral edge having a first convex-shaped contour;
• a pointer extending from the center of the dial towards the peripheral edge, the pointer being configured to point to at least one of:
• a location on the peripheral edge and a graphic on the dial, either of which indicates a first quantity;
• a first light guide, which conforms to a first portion of the first convex-shaped contour, the first light guide being located outside but adjacent the peripheral edge and extending between first and second spaced apart locations on the first convex-shaped contour, the first light guide emitting a first colored light when the pointer is directed to a location on the peripheral edge that is between the first and second locations on the peripheral edge;
• and
• a second light guide, which conforms to a second portion of the first convex-shaped contour, the second light guide being located outside the peripheral edge and extending between third and fourth locations on the first convex-shaped contour, the second light guide emitting a second colored light when the pointer is directed to a location on the peripheral edge that is between the third and fourth locations on the peripheral edge, the first light guide is a separate body from the second light guide.
