It looks like these gauges have a dark dome that goes black when they are off, and the gauges just light up when they are on and shine through. How is visibility in bright daylight? Are they overly bright at night, or do they dim?
I noticed in one store it says: "(Note: Senders are NOT included with any of the gauges except for Oil Pressure. All other hardware is supplied for installation.)" So does that mean you need to purchase something else to get the gauges to function?

forget autometer, I had one for a year and then it broke and the boost reading was off by 10 psi!!!!
I bought the megan and it's working fine, and looks better.

Quick update on the Megan Racing gauges: I PM'd everyone I saw that had the gauges, and the general consensus is that they are fairly visible in daylight and not overly bright at night since they do hook into the dimmer switch.
All gauges came with all necessary hardware/sending units except the oil pressure gauge, which does require a sender.

What size is the MR?
