![]() Apparently the switched wire to the gauge not only runs the LEDs, but also powers the gauge. I connected the switched hot wire to interior dimmable lights, but no go. Got most of the gauges up and running this afternoon. As said before glowshift gives you generic install instructions so one of the wires they say to hook to accy is actually the light wire, if it does not respond well to the dimmer and they are indeed too bright for you at night you can just wire in a resistor (which size i dont know yet but will test here shortly) to lower voltage enough to cause them to always be dim at night.Īs for not having the lights on the guages on all the time i was working on my truck yesterday and was staring at the guages and it was kinda hard to read without them on, I only have the black 7 color guages not the tinted ones and it still was kinda hard to make out so i will probably wire up a relay to have them on during the day but dim with a resistor when the lights turn on at night. ![]() I am waiting to see if crazy tells us how his turned out hooking them up to the dimmer before i take mine back off to rewire it. Yes led's do not usually like to dim with the dimmer mainly because they will work with very little voltage so lowering the voltage may not do much of anything. For anybody that ships from them to Canada, Do not use U.P.S. ![]() When i talked to them it was like you are from Canada o well it's your problem. Shipping yes it has to do with the border but i have ordered and ship may parts from the states and never be back charged for frieght. I had picked up a engine temp gauge here in Canada (princes auto) It is made offshore, there house brand, It is not L E D light and for 22.00 looks as good or better than these from glow shift, has the dim on it too. If it is still showing high after that they (glow shift ) will be hearing from me !!!!!! I'am ordering a 4" diamond eye today and hope to have it on in the next week or two. I'am showing high EGT's right now not sure if it is the gauge. Yes dollars add up, I too have a budget and wish list and now on my wish list is a gauge pack !!!! IMO if they look cheap you will wonder if they are reading correct. Last night was with a buddy in his truck (dodge) he has the autometer pack sorry to say but they look alot better IMOĭo the looks make the gauge work better "NO" But remember every time you get into your truck and start it, where is the firist place your eyes go just my opion look hard before you buy !!!!! For me next time i will spent the extra $ and get IMO a better quality gauge. Lot of people have them and are happy with them. Like I said before, you are getting what you payfore. ![]() When i installed the boost/vac gauge I needed to turn it slightly in the pod maybe 1/8 inch when i tried turn it the face plate turned on the gauge, not a big deal but to me it showed the quality of them. Click to expand.Yes the "plastic" look to them IMO ![]()
