Romad - I'm with you, the dash is too hard to read being in black. With bright sun coming in from the side window it's nearly impossible to see the small digit's if your an older person. My personal opinion is that the dash would be easier to read if the instrument panel was white instead of black. The only thing I know to do is put in a Mercedes gauge panel out of their model 320. Let me know if you come up with a solution that will avoid removing the entire gauge panel.
