I couldn't be happier with my glowshifts. IMO they are well made. I'm running 7 color with tinted lense.

Seems like the people who have glowshifts really like them and report they work well. The people that aren't actually running them say they are crap...???

my 3 in 1 glowshift is pretty good. ive had it for 8 months and ive had no problems. just make sure you wire it up right and not half *** like me . and if you get one get this one. 3 in 1 Combo Dodge Ram Style Gauge - Boost, Exhaust Temp, Temp Diesel Gauges . i got the dark background one and its really hard to see the digital read out in the day time. i got my dad the one on that link and its 100% easier to see in the day time.

Well just to throw this out ther again... Glowshift gauges are junk. If you want to spend little money on gauges go agead but you will find some that work and some that are crap. However i have heard several instances where the glowshift gauges that are appearing to work right have false readings. Do yourself a favor and buy some autometer or isspro gauges and be done with it.

I don't like glow shift for several reasons, Quality, Lighting, Materials are the three big things...

I am biased to Isspro and think you would be much happier with a set up like that.

IMO i dont like digital gauges. When your really getting on it hard, you dont want to look through rows of numbers and process them. Its easier to glance at a needle and know where to back off. Same thing with those new digital dial indicators. Why???? maybe im just old school...
