searched & there was tons of info on the gauges themselves...but no comments on night visibility OR pictures.

Does anyone have pics of VDO Vision gauges at night???
or can comment on them? (compared to stock gauge visibility)

 

My old Manual VDOI boost gauge had a pink face. It was inaccurate by 3-6 psi, and ugly to boot.

I have heard good things about them otherwsie though. Maybe the newer ones are better?

 

I must have a completely different gauge! My 50mm VDO boost gauge looks good, is accuurate and lights up white quite clearly at night. I definitely prefer it to the Autometer one I had in my last car.

If the damn forum would let me attach pics I'd show you.

 

I've been looking for a picture of these gauges at night and no one seems to have any

NZConvertible, send me the pics and I'll post them.

Pics sent. They're pretty crappy quality, and the lighting came out funny, but you'll get the idea.

 

Heres the pics...






Any way you can get us a pic in complete darkness?? Thanks for the pics

 

pics looks good, but it doesn't look like ur gauge is lit up.......any lit up pics!?

 

scathcart, are you telling me i should get a new boost guage??

 

my dad has a VDO boost guage too. its almost the same but it lights up green. but u could just take the bulb out and put a red one in

 

It is lit! Like I said, the pics aren't great, so it doesn't show up too well. But it looks better in the flesh, and I'm happy with how clear it is at night. I'll try to get work's digicam to take a photo in complete darkness.
I thought I might fit a brighter bulb so I can stick the little orange cap I've got on it to match the stock gauges. I'm also going to relocate it to the A-pillar. It's current location cleared the stock steering wheel perfectly, but the Momo's thicker rim obscures the vac side.

 

hey wan. did u put reder bulbs in your guages?. they look more red than usual.
