Gauges with adjustable brightness

Hi, and yes I searched(search function opens up cases of cans of worms) and yes I've read the mfg stuff.

I am curious to find out what gauges have adjustable backlights.

I will be going more than likely with an Oil Temp and Oil Pressure then probably Boost or wideband depending.

I wanted something with a warning and or peak but for at night I really dont like being peripherally blinded, I like a darkish cockpit

I would look for the old greddy warnings but im not sure if they are backlight adjustable or if many/any are for that matter

Thanks in advance everyone

EDIT: White face is not needed however is preferred

+1 for the Defi gauges. you can use the Control Unit II to change the brightness of the gauges.

Yep, you can adjust the Defi gauges I have them and it's nice to be able to adjust them depending on how bright it is outside.

Or you can hook them up to the interior lights and use the stock dimmer switch.

Really...? I could probably get the defi warning gauges and do it that way right? Do you think it would shorten the light life of them?

If the dimmer switch was at say 25% from the off position would they all have the same level of brightness?

Can you PM me an idea of how to do this?

most nice gauges have that feature.

such as proparts or
prosports spec



plus you don't need the "box" with all the other gauges.
