defect for having gauges?

as long as the gauge is not higher than the highest part of your dash, its ok.

normally, the speedo area is the highest, so as long as you have gauges mounted at the same hight or less, you will be fine.

Ive heard they can defect you as the light the gauge emit when on can distract the driver of both you car and others

that seems fair enough. i had some gauges in my previous civic and the light would glare onto my windscreen. was pretty distracting. some of the cheaper brand gauges are very bright!

i have an apexi boost gauge at the moment, and im really happy with it. nice and dim, perfect at night.
