Default Glowshift Gauges?

Is anyone using these? Please respond. I need a new nitrous pressure gauge. I'm thinking about trying these out. I don't want to spend $500 on gauges. I have one more space in the dual pod. I can't decide if I should go with a wideband A/F or a Fuel pressure gauge for the other one. I may be ordering the N2O gauge today.

Thanks

I've heard on other sites that they're about the quality of autometer.

Well I just ordered the Glowshift N2O gauge I linked to above. It should be here by next Thursday so we'll see how it goes.

Thanks

I think they look cheap and goofy, but I've never seen one in person.

I had a set not to long ago. I thought for the money they were great and loved the back lighting. They have different styles to choose from and you can also change the LED colors 7x.

I have heard of massive problems with Prosports. That may only be their sending units, but I would stay far away from them.

I'd like to know what you think of GlowShift gauges. Check out the video (which also has some pictures of my ride) below and post your opinion. Depending on your feedback, I may pursue their gauges for my ride (and every viewer of the video helps me along that path).
