Gauges at Night
 

Can anyone post a pic or two of their aftermarket gauges at night...doesn't matter what brand! I am looking to buy a set of AutoMeter Ultra Lites, but I don't know what to expect from the perimeter lighting as opposed to through-dial lighting. I want to be sure you can see clearly. Thanks guys!

Here's a snapshot of my Ultralites at night. Not real clear, but you get the idea. As you can see, the perimeter lighting is... well... ok. lol

Has anyone seen SW gauges with glow thru numbers ?

I agree Scott! Perimeter gauges don't light up all that well at night! I think I may go with the Autometer Nexus gauges. Anyone have a photo of those at night in their car?

yea i thats why im gonna go with the ultra-lights 2s the have the thru the dial light and the numbers lights up too, maybe they will look brighter at night...

I was afraid visibility would be limited. The Nexus gauges will look great I'm sure...except they don't have a speedo yet (except for the Plug-N-Run series).

looks like autometer has quite a few with through face lighting now. im liking the new ultralite 2

Here is a shot of my new Auto Meter Phantom II's after i installed them. Not a great picture in my garage though.

John, those look great, do you have a pic of them during the day?

Edit: Just saw them on your other post, very nice.

I love those Phantom 2's, a friend of mine has a set in his chevelle and they look so clear at night. Im thinking of getting a set myself

I have they.. thier LED system is simple and kicks a$$..

It's kinda hard to tell from the angle but how difficult is it to see the pointers?

I never had any trouble seeing the pointers.. it's hard to capture on camera but they glow pretty good.

There's a cool pic in the new super chevy of them at night. Also, a white LED would make them brighter but I liked the "mil spec" look of the red LEDs

Thanks Steve! Now i know what gauges i will get in my car :cheers:

Here's a pic of my Auto meters I took last night, they have LED perimiter lighting:

i have the perimeter lighting as well, but now iam becoming partial to the backlit gauges after seeing these examples. I think i might be buying something i dont need in the near future!!:rolleyes:
