Aside from the glare, I thought they were great gauges for the money for installation, tech support, and accuracy. I just couldn't see them with polarized sunglasses, some food for thought for other folks considering picking these up, not bashing on an otherwise quality product.

*gauge update*

Hey everyone thanks for all the views, opinions, likes and dislikes.

I kno there hs been some debate about the digital gauges and how they perform in the sunglare. I got a pic i wanted to post showing just how these gauges perform in that situation. I kno the glare topic is a turnoff to some ppl about some particular gauges.

What iv noticed is that its pretty damn near impossible to elimnate all gauge glare from just about any gauge. thats like turnng off the sun just cant do it. but anyways the prosport digital evo series gauges. When these gauges are affected by the glare aspect of the sun their actually pretty easy to read still. unless the sun is directly reflected right back to your eyeball they can be read easily. Being that these gauges are digital,, whenever the sun shines on them the bcklit display kinda cancels out the color and the gauge almost has somewhat of a negative display effect. kinda like a negative of a photo its kinda hard to explain your just gona have to figure that out from the pic but other than that i have had no problems reading the gauges in the sun.

This pic shows the center gauge directly in the sun glare the other gauges are somewhat also but not as much it was hard to geta decent picture.

Hope this post has cleared up some questions about the topic.

When I had white Defi BFs, I could barely see them during daylight either. Those look pretty cool.
