This mod replaces the colors of the emissive textures of the dashboard instruments for the BR 101 Expert to my personal taste. Most noticable at night time but you can see the emissive colors of the instruments on daytime slightly as well.
Additionally the indicators (for Sifa, PZB etc.) are 30% more saturated in its color tone.
Known issues:
1.) The colorful instruments are only available for the BR 101, not the cab car unfortunately. This is due to some kind of mistake I encountered in the texture files, since the same emissive light texture of the BR 101 is placed inside the respective location for the cab car, however is not working with the cab car. I'm not sure whether the emissive texture is even working as intended for the cab car in the original DLC. Usually, it should have its own respective EM counterpart for the texture, which isn't in the original DLC. I need to investigate this further.
2.) I was not able to change the color of the buttons of the left screen from white to any other color since it didn't appear in the texture (this is infact the only instrument which is not changed in comparison to the original version). My guess is that the setup for the setup for these buttons is somehow differently done in its respective material, which I don't have access to.
Check the attached screenshots to see if this mod is something for you.

Regarding point 1: I had a look at the cab car Dials material and the BC texture is used as the input to the emissive. The EM textures in that folder is unused.
Regarding point 2: The MTD buttons, the inner sections of the EBuLa and GSM-R buttons and the LZB distance numbers have their emmisives on the
/CRG_DB_BR101_Expert/View/Textures/Cab/T_BR101_Cab_Decals_EMtexture.Hi Fabian,
Re point 1: Yes, I began to think that this is the case. However, I ended up to not mess with the BC for the moment. But nice to have the confirmation. I might consider it for an update. Strange that the EM for the 101 cab is placed there though. I guess it was a placement mistake.
Re point 2: I was able to change the emissive colors for the buttons of GSM-R (to red) and EBuLa (to slightly purple) as you can see in the screenshots. What I meant was the buttons for the screen which illustrates the force and brake strength to the left. I tried to taint almost every piece of the EM texture but no change to the buttons of that screen. My guess is that the emissive light also comes from the BC texture (like on the cab car). I tried to colorize an element which is different in the EM, and what made me think this could be it (the sandclock looking piece in the texture), but after testing I got to the knowledge that this specific piece wasn't it as well.
