GAUGE CLUSTER ARC LIGHTING

An instrument panel for a vehicle cabin includes a gauge cluster configured to display data. A vehicle instrument panel also includes a lighting arc, from the perspective of an operator of the vehicle. The lighting arc extends at least partially around the gauge cluster and generates a visual strip via one or more light emitting diode (LED) elements. The lighting arc is configured to represent a vehicle system operating parameter. A motor vehicle having an engine configured to generate torque, a vehicle cabin, and the vehicle instrument panel is also provided.
