Default Lunar, C2, or Phantom

Can anyone hit me up with some pics of the Lunar, C2, and Phatom series gauges at night. Every place that sells them always has the day shot, but I want to know which is most visible in the dark so I know which to get. Thanks.

Can tell you the Phantom are not to hard to see at night with the red bulb covers, way to bright with he white light. Red matches the rest of the dash lights.

Heres a shot but not a full dark night shot.

I had the C2 guages in my Mustang, and holy crap are they bright! I had them mounted in the a-pilar (3 guages), and I could not see anything out the driver's window or anything to the front left of the car because they were so bright. I wired them to the dimmer, but to have the C2 guages at a nice brightness, the rest of the insturment cluster would almost be out.

Don't know if this will help, but here is a pic out of my ex-Mustang,


Overall, they were a nice guage, but way to damn bright. In the pic, it looks like you can see the three lights in the guage, but in person you can not see them.

Thanks, kinda helps. Guess I will have to worry about not being able to see anything because of the light rather than not being able to read from the darkness...

Im in south Denver, just outside of Glendale.Evans and I-25. What about you?
