glow shift question

can you can color on glow shift gauges they are the, black 7 color series? seems to me you should be able to, but the button on the front don't do it.

just got mine at truck nationals yesterday and they don't change. I wonder if the constant and switched power has any thing to do with it? as far as I know they are wired up right, but they don't change off of red. thanks anyhow I will try calling them sometime soon.

All the constant feed line does, enables it to remember what color you were on when you turned off your key. Not switching color when the truck is running? Tells me that you have an issue with the gauge or the button itself.

I have the same setup.

yes they are the same I got but they will not change color, never did? I don't think it would be a problem with all three of the gauges at the same time. unless it is a wiring issue.
