I might sell my soul for Prosport Peak and Hold gauges

so i got an email back and they said the blue series light is only blue and i should try the little visor things to help with the visability issue 
bummer.
bummer.Yep, looks like the amber/white and green/white are the only ones that do it
I'm wondering how the green look with the stock gauges?

i have personally seen the green, and it looks to be a good match. if you have an apillar or guages mounted on your dash not many would notice, because its not that close. BTW, it looks like my build just got a little more expensive .

That's a bummer!theKnifeArtist said:so i got an email back and they said the blue series light is only blue and i should try the little visor things to help with the visability issue
I just got home from work and my gauges were waiting for me. I'll probably put them in tonight after I eat and i'll take some daytime pictures soon!

It's still probably not a bad idea to make sure they're wired up properly... the night mode is supposed to be dimmer than the day mode. If it's wired backwards it'd make the day time visibility worse.
To check if the illumination is wired in properly go outside when it's dark and turn on the car. Then turn on the headlights, the gauge faces should dim.
anyone have one of their boost gauges that is working?
also was thinking of using the extra port on the koyo radiator for the temp gauge...

I just finished wiring mine in- the gauge is of course brighter, but the shade isn't *too* far off. Doesn't bother me a bit.Doward said:Yep, looks like the amber/white and green/white are the only ones that do it

Mine works perfectly! I'll try to take some daytime pictures when i've got time off work, heh. So far i'm happy with it. I haven't hooked up my water temp gauge yet, though.Poodles said:
Here is some info I got from prosport yesterday when ordering:
Hopefully that helps with your decisions.

Based on the last reply, it looks like you would have to rig in a brighter rated LED in your Choice of color, hooked up the the etra wire not in use (based on the statement of, "if you want green hook up the green, if you want white, hook up the white") and have it set to power one only when the head/parking lights are not in use...
What? Rewire another LED? Why?
Just build a relay system that swaps power from wire to wire (lights on/off) based on imput (KO or lights on).

bwest is right - just set it on a system that swaps the power from white wire to green wire when you turn the lights on
The 52mm is great looking.

And yeah, don't wire it to something that is wired to the rheostat/dimmer... if it gets bumped down very much the gauge shuts off, heh.
Right now mine is wired to the Ashtray light negative and positive (for what the instructions call PARKING LAMP), tapped into the battery + going to the stereo, and to the cigarette lighter for ACC. This is just temporary to make sure the gauge worked and such, I plan on running dedicated positive and negatives as well as finding better tap source for the PARKING LAMP so it doesn't shut off when the dimmer goes down.
If I have time before work tomorrow i'll work on that daytime shot everyone has been waiting for! But for what it's worth daytime visibility is just fine for me, it's just as good as it was before.
