VA Daylight Viewing ProSport Gauges

Does anyone have ProSport Gauges on their car?

If you have daylight pictures please post.

It will really help if you can answer how the ProSport Gauges look during the day.

I have the tinted ones, with amber lighting. Day light view is okay.. not the best but not bad either. If I were to do it again, I'd get the ones with clear lenses though.

I can take a picture of them during the day tomorrow but here are some night shots, in white and red. They look great during the day...very bright even in direct sunlight as they stand out well.

Amber--can't see hardly at all during the day. White during the day is fine, though.

White during day is perfect, never had any trouble seeing them in the sun glare or any other condition.

Nice head unit. I have the similar 9887 and I am pretty happy with it. I also have the head unit installed on the bottom section of the din area so gauges are located higher and more visible. However looking at your pics there is a little gap between the head unit and the gauges. Do they not fit properly because of the bezel of the gauges?

My other question is they look red (which is what I'm after) in some youtube videos but amber or almost yellow in your photo. Have they faded over time or is it just a bad photo?

For me, they've never been a problem viewing while driving during the day.
