Hmm.. bought this autogauge digital tacho from MonMon...
Pretty standard stuff. But very rare, not sure why...
Anyways, I was thinking about it..and well, why not make Defi BF style meters?
In short :
Open up meter front/face (either you pry away the cap or you can pull it off) Warning : if you pry the cap, later you're going to have to sand, bend back slowly, and also respray the whole thing. If can't open better leave it.
Remove glass. Wash glass.
Go to accessory shop, buy 75% BLACK tint. do NOT buy 95%. you won't be able to see nuts... i tell u.
wash tint, cut to size... remove plastic backing, place glass onto tint and remove excess water. dry and leave to adhere.
Reassamble : you're DONE :)
PS : don't do this on EL meters unless it's REVERSE EL. wont be nice.

Here's how it looks like when it's on.
If you buy 95% black tint, the meter is going to be USELESS in the daytime.
all silver/green/blue/gold tint will not work. please do not buy reflective tint. ONLY cheap black tint (the 1 strip kind they use for ur top of the windscreen). AND MAKE SURE 75% or reasonable.
