I thought Autometer had a rollover on their website where you could see what all of the different gauges look like at night.
Anyone know where I can find what their different gauges look like at night? I'm not sure which gauge I want, so I can't make specific requests.

This isn't going to help but last item I bought from summit they sent a Autometer color booklet with all thier gauges and it had pics of night shots. If I still have it I could mail it to you? Just a thought.
I have autometers and they came with little various colored bulb covers, thought being if you got bored with red you could change to green etc. They don't work worth a sh*t.

I think it is only certain gauges that show the night image.
Like this one: http://autometer.com/cat_gaugeop.aspx?sid=59
To the lower left of the gauges is a "View Night time" line, hover over it & the image changes.

I thought I remembered their website having the "view night" feature, so I was kind of frustrated when I couldn't find one for the regular phantom gauge. Anyone got some night shots?
Do they black out like the Phantom II does?
No, regular Phantom is white back lit. Basically, old school lighting. The Phantom IIs are the same way but the face turns black. When I hover over the illumination note for Phantom Is, it tells me what it would be like. Phantoms look good at night. I prefer modern LEDs though for their colors.
ES gauges look good but I'd rather have a white face with the red LED through lighting. Or maybe more of an orange like my 96 Pontiac had. The blue in the Cobalt is gorgeous to me. However, blue against black at night isn't the easiest for me to read
