Gauges at Night - Lateral-g Forums

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?

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).

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
