Get the manual out and make sure you read all the info on the dash dimmer. In my sig, there is a link to the 2011 manual pdf, if you would like to look now.
On page 5-24 of 213 (pdf) talks about the dashboard illumination.
Rotate the knob to adjust the brightness of
the instrument cluster and other
illuminations in the dashboard.
NOTE
l The brightness of dashboard illuminations
can be adjusted when the headlight switch
is in the or position.
l When the dashboard illumination
brightness cannot be adjusted any more, a
beep sound will be heard.
l (Black-out meter)
The brightness of the instrument cluster
illumination can be adjusted when the
headlight switch is in any position.
Canceling the illumination dimmer
(Black-out meter and dashboard
illuminations)
When the headlight switch is in the
or position, the illumination of the
instrument cluster and the information
display dims.
When driving on snowy or foggy roads,
or in other situations when the instrument
cluster or information display's visibility
is reduced due to glare from surrounding
brightness, cancel the illumination
dimmer and increase the illumination
intensity.

Thanks...I should have posted that I've read the manual even before posting this question...but I think I got the most sensible answer from the dealership--they will try to program it through the computer..The temperature settings were also in Celsius so they will convert it to Fahrenheit...

Blue lighting only on Grand Touring models and to switch from Celsius to Fahrenheit press and hold the "outside" button on the climate control for a few seconds. This works on the '07 GT w/o nav.

If the 2012 is similar to the 2007, the blue lighting is part of the Grand Touring (GT) package and didn't come as part of the sport or touring packages.
For switching between C to F (again on the 2007s) is accomplished by pressing and holding button on the lower half of the right AC control dial for approximately 8 seconds, until you hear a beep. I don't know if it works the same way on the newer models.

Not sure what year exactly, but Mazda saved a nickle and eliminated the blue ilumination lighting.
Around 2010-2011.
One of the reasons I still have a 2008, seriously.

2012 has it in the GT. Not sure of lesser models.
