Having a hard time seeing gauges in daytime
I have been trying to figure some way to let me see the gauges quickly while driving during the day, Maybe I am the only one with this problem??? [but i doubt it]
I am looking for small reflective numbers and/or markers to stick to the plastic over the cluster, but can't seem to come up with any small enough..........
Does anyone have any ideas for me.......??
I check my gauges often, and it bugs the heck out of me when i glance down and can't get a reading......especially on mountain roads.......
I know you can buy clusters that are more visible, but I though I'd ask to see if someone may come up with an easier and more simple idea..........

The stick on numbers thingy you mentioned I have never seen or even heard of... Many people will though buy after market gauges, I call them "racing gauges" and mount them eye level along the driver side door... If they go that route most buy the entire cluster instead of individual gauges...

thanks for the reply.......you can buy the face of the cluster and change it out......I don't want anything complicated.......I'm thinking of buying a bottle of glow glue and just put a few marks at strategic points on the gauges...........I'll do a little more looking and see if i can come up with some 1/4" stick on numbers......they seem to hard to find??

If visibility is an issue there are inexpensive-ish Heads Up Displays like this one too that work off OBD/GPS and project up onto the windscreen.

I'll figure some thing out.........thanks

I see it is not night time you have trouble with, but day time... I have a 98 Blazer and the panel is plenty bright during the day. At night I actually adjust the switch down a bit because the panel is brighter than I personally prefer...
