Default How to change Combination Speedometer/Tachometer 70900070A

Hello cool people,
I just had a Combination Speedometer/Tachometer (70900070A) installed on my 2013 Road King. The feature that i was more excited about was having the choice of adjusting the dash backlighting. It says adjustable backlighting with over 600 color tone options on the box. The paperwork that came w/ this thing doesn't say how to change colors & surprisingly enough, not even the HD dealer tech knows how to adjust it.

Please, Is there any forum member that can tell me how to do so?

Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Newt.

Well, mine didn't come w/ such instructions. I'll figure this out soon enough. I'll go to a Harley bike night. There are always knowledgable ones on this bike events.
Thanks anyway.
Best regards & have a great weekend.
Newt.
