glowshift gauges

Has any one put them in there truck. I'm thinking of ordering them with a 4 pillar mount and filling it with the tinted gauges (trans,oil,boost,pryo,fuel)also have the DP tuner white face gauge. So I need to do something with the two extra ones. Wish they made a hpop gauge. I can get all 5 gauges and the mount for $280.

I agree... tinted lens makes it almost impossible to see in the daytime.... lots of reflections. I've inquired about replacement lens, but they don't seem to acknowledge the problem.

I would recommend ISSPRO Performax. Everytime I wire up another gauge I kick myself for not buying them.

Links are sexy!

X-2 on the performax, I went that way when I started (under Clay's advice), worth the extra money, only 3 wires through the fire wall and up to 17 gauges run on different frequencies on those 3 wires.

I have the glowshift white face in my truck. I haven't had any problems with them. They have only been in for about a month though. They stay on the color I set them to. They seem to be fine. A friend had them in his truck and didn't have any problems either

i also have the 3 in 1...just sent it back friday to glowshift...sometimes the lites would not work, sometimes they would be different colors and some times they would be 1/2 one color and 1/2 another...they great thing is/was...talked to a tech and he said it was an intermitent problem and said if i sent mine back, id get a brand new one...great customer service...even though this is a hassle.

i would have boughts Clays, but didnt/dont have the cash...maybe some day when i get older like my idol Jim(rat49f6)

I had a glow shift boost gauge & it wasn't long before I noticed it showed 5 psi of boost with the truck turned off. Very cheap. maybe made in china i'm not sure but I replaced it with a autometer phantom & never has another problem.

The main reason I'm looking at glowshift is cause they offer a 4 gauge pillar and I just wanna get everything at one place. I'm like a kid when it come to toys for the trucks I hate waiting on different orders to come in. I can't believe autometer don't make a 4 pillar pod.
