Spokane Shelby Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I posted a while back on this same topic. The gauges are almost impossible to see on a bright sunny day. If you are wearing sunglasses - forget it totally. Mine is a 2007 GT500. The gauges are gray. I had a Cobra with white face gauges and they were easy to see in bright light. Has this been a concern to others and what has been done to help? Thanks for any insight to help my sight. Turning on the lights makes them even dimmer. At night the view is fantastic, as you already know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ingram4868 Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Yep, Ford blew it on this car. The traditional SVT white face gauges would have probably helped. I don't understand why the mule test drivers didn't report this back to SVT during their desert testing days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewheelman Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share Posted June 30, 2010 The only one I have any trouble seeing in the daylight is the radio......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is you live in Eastern WA, way too much sunshine. :shades: In Western WA we don't have that problem we rarely see the sun. :mad: Hope to see you at the Round UP and Millwood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spokane Shelby Posted July 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Hi Denny! The problem is you live in Eastern WA, way too much sunshine. :shades: In Western WA we don't have that problem we rarely see the sun. :mad: Hope to see you at the Round UP and Millwood Hello Bad Snake. I apologize, I do not remember you and your lovely wife's names. We will be at the Round Up and working Millwood. I am undecided what car to bring to the Round Up. The 67 has never been to the West Side. I can not believe others have not had trouble seeing the gauges. When the sun shines directly on them they are fine. If the sun is coming in the front window they are recessed in the shadows. Check yours again under the described conditions and let me know. By the way, we had the wettest June on record. Glad to see it gone. Denny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewheelman Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 In KY, we had the hottest June on record. I have no problems seeing the gauges in my vert in any lighting conditions, only the radio fades out in direct sun......then again I'm wearing bi-focal sunglasses 100% of the time I'm in it......

Sherri Leicht Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 I am in total agreement with you Spokane Shelby. I cannot see my guages in the sunlight, esp with the top down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdragoo Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 [i agree. Gauges are hard to read during the daylight. I think it's party due to the deep recess they are in . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
