I have had them for 2+ years and like them just fine.

I put a 3 pod pillar in the drivers windshield corner, then just ran the wires down to the fuse box below the dash.

Mine are also wired to 'key on' but it does not bother me that they are on during the day.

Glowshift gauges are pretty nice. I've had mine in the diesel for almost two years.
My turbo ranger has had them for 5.
You can't rewire them so it's not illuminated all the time. Sorry.
You only have ground power all time and power key on. Power all the time is for memory of the color choice. I just got used to them being on all the time.

On the back of the trans and oil gauge there is a s / + / - where where do they go and where does the oil temp probe go.

got them as well,....for the wiring, connect all the "colors" up top, except for the "green/sending" wire. Then i used the "3" wire trailer loom, and ran the hot,ground, and hot when key on, down under the fuse panel kick door. There you'll probe around, and theres both, constant and HwKO, wires (give me a minute, i'll go check), and for ground, ran to side of panel where the other grounds are

Great idea on the trailer wire loom. I gotta wire up a 3gauge pod overhead above the mirror soon and that flat wire will work great. Makes me not cringe as much now running the wire.

I've had them in my truck for about a month. So far I like them. The wiring harness was a little over done. I have the under dash pod with trans temp, boost and egt.

alright, under my dash, i tapped into the blue/red strip, which is the power AFTER key is on, and a pur/blk strip which is constant.

Yeah, waiting on my oil pressure, volt and soon, there making an HPOP gauge. Got my fuel press waiting on the workbench..

I used a fuse tap (add a circuit) when I wired mine up. It helped quite a bit.

Im also looking at getting gauges and i know glowshift would save me some money. Are they pretty accurate gauges? Also do they fit in the gauge pod from clay at riffraff?

Them seem accurate to me. They are 2 1/16 I think.
