Default GlowShift gauges

Ok so about a year ago I bought a set of glowshift gauges includeing water and oil temp, egt, wideband airfuel, and oil pressure. And after a year of use I am not happy with them at first they were great pretty easy to install and great instructions and fast shipping and good quality from looks of it. But about 4 months later one of the gauges wouldn't change color, but I said no big deal as it was stuck on the color I used the most, then after about 8 months of use the o2 stopped working and isn't covered by there warrenty so I had to buy another. And now just after the year mark two gauges or sensors don't work at all. The egt stays at 0 and the oil temp never moves so in the year I have owned them the only gauge that hasn't broke is one out of five. There customer service and tech support are just as bad. The two gauges that don't work stopped working two days after my year warrenty stopped and they won't do anything for me and the tech support tells me to pull the sensor out for my egt and heat it with a hair dryer??? Which makes no sense as the gauge won't read until 600 and like the temp in my exhaust isn't getting hot ? So I am supposed to send them back so they can test both parts and pay to fix them I assume.


So in my opinion they are ok gauges in the short run with an easy install but not something I would expect to last long so I will be replaceing them one by one I guess as they brake with better ones.

I also would not recommend them really.
I bought their digital boost/oil pressure 2 in 1 gauge.
Within the first month the oil pressure sender went bad causing me to freak out as my oil pressure was dropping to like 2-3 psi at idle. Made me pay them to ship me a replacement.
Gauge is annoying too as it makes a super loud beeping noise every time you turn it on or off.
Only was available with blue LED unfortunately so at night it is super bright and kinda blinds you.
Besides that it has been working but only reason I bought it was because of the 2 in 1 feature. Would definitely have passed otherwise.
