Did you buy it used ? If so, the previous owner probably changed to white ?

The white style look so much better. The black style is out dated.

I have the 2006 550 white gauges on my 03. Looks much better except either the shop that programmed it doesn't know what they're doing, or it's not compatible with my stock head unit. probably the later. lost my steering wheel audio controls but getting s new head unit soon anyways.

no, i looked through the 07 brochure and it does say it's supposed to come with white gauges, so i went onto autotrader and manheim auctions and looked at like 2 dozen 2007 clk550s and only like 2 or 3 had the white gauges, the majority of them had the black ones...i dont know what the deal is.

maybe should go to dealer to complain LOL

on W209's at least the AMG's come with the white gauge back plate. i know we have a 2008 CLK550 convertible here that has the white with the AMG sport package. i don't know what kind of difference that makes other than me being envious of the fact that i prefer the white ones over my black ones.
