Does anyone have a pic of 2003 guages at night?

[nickleuci]

I don't know if the lighting in mine has crapped out, just bought the boat and and lighting in the gauages at night looks funny. Can someone post a photo of what a working guage looks like when lit at night?

I can get you one, but I know the tach and speedo are on dimmers and you have to dim them up to get them to work, if thats your problem.

nope dimmers work, gauges just don't look right at night, they're difficult to read

Well I tried to take a picture but they were so dim they didnt show up on the picture.

does dim them up mean the same as brighten.

I'm pretty sure that is what he meant. You have to occasionally excuse the grammar of our GenY counterparts.

What are you talking about????

the 2003 gauges are dim at night and are hard to read.

[Domsz06]

i can take one tonight if you still need it, let me know.

[nickleuci]

Yes that'd be great, I'd like to see what they should look like to compare to mine. Mine are definately hard to read.

[Domsz06]

ok, i'll find something to steady the camera, and use no flash and go from there. I'll also try and use something to compare it to.

[Domsz06]

here are some pics, hope this helps. Sorry not in focus, but think you get the idea.

the one compares it to my ipod.

If thiers is like my 06, the Tach and Speedo have to be "dimmed up" (just for you Tarheeler ) when you turn on the Nav lights. Don't know why Faria does it Doesn't make much sense to have 2 dimmable gauges and the rest have a fixed light level.
