Ticitme thanks for the pictures   i cant see the logo very well   it looks like it has a mist coat of black over it    whats your take on it

It looks like a chrome-ish coating. Hard to get a good photo..... It isn't clear through though. You may be able to just put the light behind the '11 and have it show through

I'm going riding with a guy that has an 11 tonight, I will see if he is willing to let me experiment

I put a light behind mine and it didn't really show through enough. You saw white light, but it didn't look too good.

I am picking my 2011 Krypto up in a couple days and it has the illuminated console. Not sure of the build date yet so it may have been an issue of getting the necessary parts in stock to install.

It's an led and I never thought to see if it lit up red or white. Crap! Guess I will have to pull it apart again.

i just went through the parts book and it doesn't say anything about a light there. just to check, I turned 3 three bikes on and NO light.

Parts book on the '12 shows a light assembly.

I'd question who told you that.  The '11 softail convertertible had the back lit console, but none of the other CVOs did.  If your does have an illuminated console I know we'd all like to see it, and find out how you go it.

You got that right!

This is getting interesting.  Ticitme  is there some sort of cloth/material diffuser over the led assy?  Looks like it.

I will be heading out Thurs 6am for Sturgis.  I plan on asking lots of questions to the HD guys about this subject and the Amps, never know what they will say! 

Later guys

Just plastic.

I would believe it.......remember it was not too long ago when someone got heated grips on a 2011 CVO SG.

That was an option from another model which got installed by accident...this is a feature from next years model that got installed on the previous year bike ?? Strange....

Not a bad option to get by accident.

With the 12v harness and a place to screw in the light it seems like Harley wanted to light this up on the 2011 and they abandoned it.

Wayne, did you try using some kind of a liquid like goo gone or paint remover instead of sand paper?

I will take my console off tomorrow and see if there is any power to the 12v plug/harness.

YES.....There is 12v at the plug once the ignition switch is turned on.

This is a plug and go mod. I did try rubbing some Goo Gone on the inside of the logo and it really did not remove anything. The paint is on there pretty thick. The flash light would not go threw mine.
