Bros Gauges From Kspec
Ok so i was looking at those BROS Gauges, but i cant seem to figure out what is what, click here for the item, if you look at it, it has pictures. Now the problem is i cant figure out which one is Marine Blue and Whine red..Because i can see ones that have dark background and others that have the white background..Or is the background optional?

Marine blue are the ones with blue numbers, Wine red has the red numbers. The ones with "dark" backgrounds are taken in low light to show you how they look in the dark. The background is silver on these.
Yeah i see the colour difference now, however i cant seem to figure out why that one is soooo dark and the other one is white.. I mean if you do take the picture in the dark u could still make out the lighter background but now its completly dark..
And also the letters "BROS" in white background are dark colour while in the dark one white laugh.gif i think they are different :S
im lost.....

To be "idiot proof" so to speak, if you want red, clicky Tiburon - Wine Red.
If you want blue, clicky Tiburon - Marine Blue.
Out of the 8 entries here, you'll see both of those two.
EDIT:
I think you're confusing the Maxtrim gauges with the normal Bros gauges. They're different items altogether.
The maxtrim are EL.
RE-Edit because i'm stupid....
You weren't looking at the Maxtrim, my bad. The darker picture really is in the dark. The "bros" name is whiter/redder because it's lit up. In the daylight picture, it looks darker because it's not inked on, it's clear to let the light show through at night, hence darker in the daylight.

I am telling you, they are the same gauge and are silver. I have a set in my 99. The Bros in the light background is darker because the lights behind it are not on. The dark one was taken with the gauge lights on, so bros is lit up.
Kantizuni im not confusing the gauges, there are the pictures in the same page..One background looks white one dark brown/black..
java so in the day time how the gauges look? White or dark silver? And when at night when they are turned on, dark or white? wink1.gif

I am beginning to think you are screwing with me. The background does not light up at all, only the lettering. The background is silver, at night it would be black and you would see only the lettering as long as the gauge lights are on. If you are driving in the city or a road with street lights you would see glimpses of silver/black/silver/black depending on how fast you were driving. Magically when the dome light comes on or the sun comes up the background is silver as well. wink1.gif

These are gunmetal/silver and light up red at the numbers.
Marine Blue.
http://www.kspec.com/list.php?ac_id=83&ai_id=802
These are gunmetal/silver and light up BLUE at the numbers.
Maxtrim.

These are black and the numbers light up white.
Any pictures that show them "Darker" are in the friggin shade.
