3 Instrument Panel problem

Failure Date: 01/28/2009

Vehicle was vandalized resulting in replacement of 2007 model dual climate control cluster from gm. Replacement part superseded 2007 model for the 2008 model, as the 2008 model is "better" design. The 2008 model however has a different color backlight display, resulting in uncontigous lighting on the interior. Resulting in further deterioration of vehicle value. Gm specifications fail to recognize the difference in lighting color, and are unable to replicate the 2007 climate control cluster. Still waiting for solution to this problem after 6 weeks of working with gm corporate, and local dealership.
