Review on 🌑️ HOTSYSTEM Universal Water Temp Gauge: Electronic Blue Digital LED DC12V 2inches 52mm for Car Automotive (Fahrenheit) by Brandon Barrett

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not bad, but you get what you pay for

I have to agree with all the other reviews on reading accuracy. The first picture shows a pressure gauge reading 201 degrees, the second is a pressure gauge I bought at a local auto parts store (AutoZ). I ordered this gauge the same day. While the Gage counterpart hardly differed in price, I trust the counterpart differently and as you can see, it shows a difference of about 10 degrees. The analog gauge also reads the same as my infrared gun and both temp gauges I put in the thermostat housing are about 1 inch apart so there shouldn't be a temperature difference. I also agree with the other post about brightness. You need to set up adjustable lighting because it's dangerously bright. I actually took another reviewer's advice and used a piece of leftover 2 Dole window tint which dimmed the lights a bit and it actually worked, but I would have preferred to have it hooked up to my dimmer with my other sensors so that everything fades out at the same time...at the same time at the same level. Aside from being easy to install and loving the look, I also wish they came with their own pod or mount.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Good, but not great
