Default Gauge question
Question: on the 2011 flhtk are the 4 smaller gauges ( batt. Oil pressure) slightly different in color them the 2 big ones (speedo, rpm) ?
I picked up my bike from the dealer a few weeks ago after it was repaired for a accident, and last night riding home I noticed that the 4 smaller gauges give off a yellowish glow while the big ones are more white. The dealer claims they come like that.

I believe the speedo and tach are lit with white LEDs and the rest are regular white incandescent bulbs...

I looked at mine and there is no difference between the gauges on my 2010 Street Glide. The only difference is the redish Harmon Kardon radio illumination. The gauges look the same. I have the factory silver gauges.

The white LEDs are a "feature" on the Limited.

*confused* Rick doesn't have a Limited. Not sure how Rick has white though. Isn't it Orange on all the SG's? Did SG's switch to White in '10?

Leds for all the gauges is a cool feature though. I didn't know that.

The gauges themselves are all the same but the light coming thru them is different.

On my '02 the small gauges had a yellow condom over the bulb. That could cause the difference in shade. They're all blue now to match my Alpine head unit.
