Question Aeroforce gauge? Does this happen to you too?
Okay I have to admit that I'm still old school and love my autometer gauges but recently had an opportunity to get an Aeroforce Interceptor. Still trying to go through all the options which seem to be abundant and I love the fact I was able to get an aluminum bezel and white face to better match my existing gauges...but

I'm having a problem seeing the reading in the daytime when I have my Polarized Sunglasses on...does this happen to you? I tried adjusting the angle of the gauge but still have the same issue...no polaized glasses no problem.

I don't have that problem. Mine is mounted low so I don't have any direct light on it, so maybe that is my difference.

Perhaps the glass lens is polarized, it does have index holes so it's possible since they can ensure it is maintained in the correct orientation. I know I can't wear polarized sunglasses with my motorcycle helmet because the face shield is polarized, the double polarization gives me a purple hazing effect to everything I look at and hard to see, you may be getting this effect.

Do you have the brightness turned up to 3? It comes default to 2. May help a bit.

Might be something to that Polarized glasses and Polarized lens on the gauge the brightness is not an issue. Sort of weird because it's mounted on the pillar with the other gauges and with the glasses on you can't see some of the display it's like half the display is missing.

Man I'm still try to learn all the features like adjusting the idle for winching and the centering for the steering wheel but I like it...can't say I like it as much as my Autometer gauges for viewing but all the features are awesome!
