Post Dashboard Lights

Does anybody know what color the dashboard lights are? From the new 360 degree view on the nissandrivan.com web site they look like a light green color. The radio light appears to be a bright orange. If that's true they won't match. Can anyone that has been in the car comment?

see attached file (I'm having trouble figuring out how to embed an image, can anyone help? All I get is a script box that want's an http:// address.)

I hope they plan on changing the radio display to green too! I'm thinking they changed their mind at the last minute and the backlighting and hadn't had enough time to change the radio for the pre-production cars.

Uh, all the original cars from early this year had orange. Only the most recent ones had green, so I am assuming that's what the final production cars will be.

Man, the nav looks cool in that picture. I wish it had been more reasonably priced.

SeedyRom said that a while ago, one of the first cars made had the green lights, they knew that this wasn't the final color but took thye 360s ayway. You can search for it, it was like a week ago that this was discussed. Plus if this is the closer to production touring model, whydoesn;t it have the cruise control buttons on the wheel, like the most recent ones do...

all instrument lighting is orange, I've seen it myself in the blue touring that I rode in. Whether the production version is different, who knows (probably not).

Do the gauges light up when the car is turned on?

Thats how it is on the Altima. If it does that, then I'm one step closer to modifying those gauges.
