Well Jay, I got 3 of them and they are just fine to me. Maybe you should wear your glasses when you look at them because I don't have a hard time seeing it. By the way, I plan on hitting 30 PSI in 2 years.
Try reading that again and make your self look like more of an butt when you reply to this.
Butt doesn't start with a vowel, so you can't say an. You even can't do the simplest grammar. Shame.

lol. you try so hard kid it's awesome.

You mean a video clip? Pictures don't really show the intro stuff. It's nice and all, bright intro, but when it stops, it's half of the brightness. How can I fix that? We only have a 12V source I think.
Sounds like HID's. Turn them on and for a split second you've got 10x the output, then it just goes to bleh lol.

Don't they have a dimmer switch? For 150-250 a gauge, you'd think it would come with one..
I don't think so man. I gotta call Defi and ask them about it.

On a side note regarding the grammar, you're right. However, there are rather numerous posts that have poor spelling and grammar. Sometimes it's good to be OCD. I HAVE to boost every time I drive.

^ I've had 2 autometers break on me in the past. Didn't take much for them to give out. However, they were on a quad..lol.

Lol, picking a fight on the internet warrants the title of 'kid'. Now post pics of the gauges or gtfo. This isn't a TurboToyotas thread, so it should stay on topic for atleast 5 pages...

How would you know if I want to prove anything? You think you have all the facts and statistics. LOL, what a turd. Go suck another beer bottle or the real thing which I wouldn't be surprised if you have.

ANYWAY, what you guys think of the GlowShift gauges? My friend with a Prelude (Not the 680WHP Prelude) has them and they look pretty cool, change colors and stuff. Those are probably my 2nd choice honestly. Defi wins it all tho. Just hate the dimming brightness.

Oh yea rofl. I just saw the pics, didn't look to see who posted them haha.

Are those completely invisible before the ignition is turned on? I know some of them make it out like that (the prosports I want are a little visible before).

ALSO, sometimes my boost needle "flutters". It's weird, not sure what would cause that. I hope it ain't some technical error, it's not like that all the time tho. I THINK it depends on what gear I am in. Maybe more tuning needed to be done?

Ehh, pretty darn close. Can't remember if the needle stays red. I think they do. But man, sometimes the brightness is not so bright, that in the sun, they look like they are off. Regardless, I love them. Looks cool at night in another car. Get Defi man. They have red ones too.

Yea, looks real nice and consistent. I like them man. I also have the black bezel too. White is just plain. What's the top gauge? Oil pressure? I think it is. You oughta have wideband at the top, boost in the middle, and oil pressure at the bottom. I put the most important at the top.

Oh I'll have one up soon, and I expect it to go WAAAAY off topic within 1-2 pages . Once I start getting the parts, I'll put up the thread, then I'll bring it back on topic with a dyno, just to watch it go off topic 5 minutes later.

LOL, sorry man. ALSO, if you get Defi, let me know if they dim after the intro. Not sure if it's just mine or ALL of them do that.
