Smile A Pillar Aauge Pod Windshield Reflections?

Hi all. I'm going to install water temp and oil temp gauges, but I'm concerned about windshield reflections from an A pillar pod. Anybody have any experience with locating gauges here?

Thanks
BobP

not sure how you would get any reflections the pillar pod locate the guages in a way that would be particularly difficult to cause any sort of glare/reflections

Yeah you should be good my dude. The light doesn't really spread enough to reflect off of anything majorly. I have no problems.

well the guage pods come really shiny (mine did at least) so i lightly sanded it and it doesn't cause glare at all, and matches a lot better too
