Default Prosport gauges - daytime / nightime colours

got these bad boys...



And cannot wait to get them fitted at Scott's Garage.

But wanted to canvass people's choices for the daytime / nighttime colours.

Im in a hawk with the amber dash so nightime colours are sorted for me- amber. But can't decide between white or amber for the day. I'm expecting the white illumination may be more visible during the day?

I have got prosports in my bug wrx and run with green when the lights are on to match the dials and white during the day.

I would go for the same in your car mate, as you say amber may be difficult to see in the day light.

They change when you turn you lights on/off. What colour they go depends on how you wire them up.

Most common are oil pressure and temp, plus boost.

I had mine amber for a while during the day .. and in sunlight you really can't see them, so mine are now white during the day and amber when switch on the side and main lights.
