Consumer Description

DURING BRIGHT DAY LIGHT HOURS SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE DUE TO THE COLOR OF THE NEEDLE AND THE DIAL'S BACKGROUND. THE NEEDLE IS DULL RED, AND THE BACKGROUND IS BLACK. THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE SUN MAKES THE NEEDLE FADE AWAY. THE PANEL AND NEEDLES FUNCTION PROPERLY ON DAYS IT'S NOT SO BRIGHT. THE CONSUMER HAD THE DEALER PAINT THE DIAL NEEDLE WHITE BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM DUE TO THE TINTED PLASTIC COVER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. *AK *NLM
