i had a ultralight in my car and i couldnt read it for **** at night time, the only light actually shining on the gauge was around the outer ring and i couldnt even see the numbers

my new gauge is like the prosport gauge, and it works great

I think the Autometer Sport Comp II's match perfect with a Camaro interior. Should be hooking mine up next week.

I have the auto meter ultra lite series in my car and love it, also have a glow-shift gauge that is tinted and that is the worst gauges i have ever used! The needle stopped lighting up after 2 weeks and you can't read them in the day lite.

I had the prosport before and honestly it's hard to see in the daylight, I like my autometer gauge much better.
