From what I remember reading in the 31 other pages of this thread, it appears that they are a different color for one thing. I think I also remember someone saying that they were recessed more using the 06 stuff. Not sure whether or not that was an install thing or if the buttons are indeed different.

One option for doing them might be to paint them so that both sides match, if that's an option someone would like to explore.

I will look back in this thread and see if I can find the post I remember seeing about the ones for the 06 not working like they should and quote it and bring it to the top.

The only way i know this is because when i took my car to the dealer for the 4th time for the same problem there was a black 07 with the new buttons. They look better than the 06
Here's the thread I was thinking about that I mentioned in my last post. Hope this helps those with the 07 HHR's.

Talking Got my buttons

Hey guys I installed my radio buttons, and painted the covers for both switches to match my orange paint. I did have help from my HHR Panel owning neighbor. The buttons are the best thing since sliced bread, Thanks for the great idea, oh and the switch covers look killer in Orange
