    I love the white gauges on my 2011, can't wait to do the LED swaps on them so I can ditch the ugly orange lights.

    Yeah.
    I had an '04 with the white gauges and liked them, my '09 went back to black, meh. I like the new ones on my '12.

    They are more aesthetically pleasing, but less friendly to your night vision.

    I just wonder if they're better during the daytime.
    It seems everytime I'm driving in the daytime, I glance at my gas levels, and can't see where the gauge is. The glare off the clear plastic is a b**ch..

    I acually prefer the older ones more. Specially when they are modded with blue led's.

    12s are all white, looks cleaner

    and for those who don't like that it's hard on the night vision, I just turn mine way down on night time highway trips

    I used to like the new steering wheel, too, even contemplated doing a swap. Then I realized you have to take a hand off the wheel to hit the horn.
