Hmmm, you might be onto something there

Think it might be more the tint then anything else. Know of a few others that have found the same issue though.

They seem to have chenged a fair bit of the internal lighting. Would be interested to know if the instrument cluster is now illuminated or if it is still dark as hell and you need to run with lights on (I do )
I'll take a day and night shot for you to see if there is any difference.

OK, interesting comments! Just asked the missus and she said she has no problems and would not have considered it dark. However, I have had someone comment before that mine has silver highlighting on the gauges where most are black, so perhaps that is part of the reason I am not seeing the issue.

Is you dash all black or like this? (this isnt mine, just a pic I found on the web):

I wished Seacomms

Here's 4 pics.

1 - lights off no sunnies
2 - lights on no sunnies
3 - lights off with sunnies
4 - lights on with sunnies

Gives you an idea. No biggie. Now I just take it as another "Jeep thing"

Wow, ok I see what you mean. Seems like a huge step backward in gauge visibility!
