Mine doesn't do this, was this a mid-2018 change?

Here's a little detail that speaks to Kia's effort on making the Stinger upscale: The rings surrounding the climate control temperature knobs light up. Turn up the temperature on one of the knobs (the system is dual-zone, so there are two of them), and its ring briefly glows red. Turn it down, and it glows blue. It's not a necessary thing by any means, but I think it's pretty neat.
