Default Speedometer too dark to read sometimes? Here's the fix...

Ever get that annoying shadow cast by the speedometer bezel when the sun is bright and there is so much glare that you can't see the upper half of the speedometer dial? Well relax, because "help is on the way". The Gauge Pod Solar Illuminator is an easy mod that brightens up the face of the speedometer by reflecting excess solar lightwaves all the way back into the gauge pod. And the best thing about the Gauge Pod Solar Illuminator is that it is extremely low cost--practically free! So if you install it and decide you don't like it, just remove it and throw it away! The amazing GPSI--stick it where the sun don't shine!

Definitely. I agree completely with that. Sounds like an infomercial almost.
