Default Trick to seeing speed odometer numbers better.

I was having trouble seeing the speed odometer while driving into the sun. I had the dash lights turned up as high as possible but still couldn't see them. Just by luck I put my hands at the 12 o'clock position of the steering wheel and I could see the lights. I think the sun was reflecting off the back side of the steering wheel and blocking out the lights of the speed odometer. My next step is to put something on the back side of wheel that will not reflect the sun.
