Funnily enough the only example I know of of a blue lit dash was also Nissan circa 1990 or so in their Maximas. Unsure if they were doing other models blue around that time and it was an analog dash with blue back-lighting.

If I remember correctly Volkswagen had this in the 2000 era as well

They did. It wasn’t LED, but I thought it looked great; easy on the eyes and easy to read at night.
