    Hi Guys and gals, anybody sorted out the issue of screen reflection in the sunshine from the tank chrome console? it sits very nicely in your eye line.:confused:
    Plus viewing the indicator repeater in the sun is also is also very hard to see.
    The whole chrome panel could do with a dark shade over the front half the panel. Bit like a light tint visor material.
    Interested to hear you comments.

    I agree that idiot light in the chrome console are very hard to see in daylight / bright light. I think some peeps have upgraded to LEDs which are much brighter / easier to see.

    I'd be interested to hear of any solutions too!

    Hi, I have just read a thread on this forum that informs me a member has added 2 extra repeater lights, 1 either side of his speedo. There are some pictures to view and a link to the lights. I have now placed an order for similar lights. Good idea. You would have to make a nice bracket which is easy to do.
    Ken. I will post when the items arrive and take a few pics.

    Painted my centre console satin black and agree the idiot lights are shite and in the wrong place
    This is something I plan to put right in the winter but may involve changing the tank if I can find a suitable one at the right price(cheap or cheaper):p

    I said I would get back to you all, Screen solved, new Dart Fitted. The indicator repeater in the tank which cannot be seen, I now have 2 additional ones fitted as in the picture. No problems now.:)
