    Default cant read instruments

    I find it very difficult to read the VL instrument panel on sunny days due to the shadow and impossible wearing sunglasses, never had a car before with this problem, instrument lights on doesnt help

    has anyone tried drilling holes thru the top cover to let more light in or found any answer

    yah i thought that before, drilling holes in willl only alow dirt in and possibly make it more harder to see with the dust
