4 gauges 5 stars - gauges

I have bought four different gauges and they are worth every penny. I like the ability to customize the color. They are also perfect for the GlowShift Pillar Pod. The instructions were very simple and easy to follow. Customer support was also very helpful as I needed to contact them for the following reason. After installing and testing all the sensors, I could not get the sensors to change color. In addition, the color change button was not pressed on two of the four sensors. Tech support said the buttons are not depressing because I twisted/adjusted the sensors from the outer bezel ring which causes the bezel ring to rotate slightly and the button to stick. As instructed, I pulled the sensors out of the module just enough to detach the sensor from the main body and rotate it to orient it as needed, and rotated the bezel back to take the pressure off the button. The buttons worked fine after that, but the colors still didn't change for the second reason given by tech support. The instructions advise the user to use a 3 amp fuse if connecting directly to the battery like I did. Instead of running 4 wires and 4 fuses, I ran a main wire (with a fuse) from the battery to the duct. Then I tied each gauge to the main line. This turned out to be another problem when used correctly, since the 3 ampere fuse was not sufficient for all 4 sensors. I changed the 3 amp fuse to 7.5 amp and everything works great. It would have been nice to have this information added to the manual about the bezel ring and connection, but the tech support has been great.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
