Does anyone have any experience with these? should I steer clear and get another 'better' version?

I currently have a black gauge that looks very out of place and this new Ebay one seems to fit the bill quite nicely.

Any comments welcome but please be constructive

Thanks in advance.

This is the one I have fitted to my car....

You can read about it on this thread...

Thing I like about this gauge is that if you get bored with the colour you can change it.... Just press the button!!!

These gauges work fine, I have a set of three - oil temp, oil pressure & boost - instead of my aux gauges. The thing I like is that with a 270 degree scale, you can actually see something worthwhile on the oil temp gauge unlike the OE one

One thing to note though, if you want them to "remember" the last colour set you have to wire them up to a permanent battery feed as per the instructions and each gauge takes 30mA so will discharge your battery over time, especially if you fit 3 like me.

I wired them so they only get power when the ignition is on, that way I get zero battery drain and they always come up with white illumination. If I want red, I just press the button twice.
