XG350L Question

Recently purchased a 2003 350L. My problem is it is almost impossible to
read the bottom gauge with all the temperature settings(heat, a/c etc.)
during the day. I have to put my hand over the gauge to shade it to see
what the settings are. I've talked to the dealer and they said this was a
common problem and there is no fix for it. I see they have put a brighter
gauge in the 2004's. Has anyone else had this problem and how did you fix
it? Does anyone have a 2003 350L without this problem? Thank You.

 

After 2 full years of ownership of my 2002 XG350L, this is my biggest gripe
too. Very happy with the car, no real complaints other than the memory
seats seem to have a will of their own. No matter where the sun is in
relation to the car, it's unreadable during the day. I just try to adjust
it while at a stop, so that I can duck my head down to read it.
