An instrument cluster assembly includes a dial face having a plurality of first indicia disposed thereon. A pointer is configured to selectively point to the plurality of first indicia disposed on the dial face. A selectable light blocker is disposed over the dial face and the pointer. The selectable light blocker is configured to be reconfigured between a see-through mode and a blocking mode. In the see-through mode, a user can see the dial face and the pointer through the selectable light blocker. In the blocking mode, the user is substantially blocked from seeing the dial face and the pointer. A see-through digital electronic display is disposed over the dial face. The selectable light blocker is disposed between the pointer and the see-through digital electronic display. The see-through digital electronic display is configured to electronically generate a plurality of second indicia.
