Glowshift gauges

I want to get gauges for my truck but Isspro are just too much money for me right know, so I was hoping to get some feed back on the Glowshift gauges.
Are they reliable and accurate, how do they look at night, did they come with everything needed to install, and do they seem like a quality gauge so far? How long have you had them?

I have not tried them but since I spend way too much time on internet forums I have read many posts from unhappy owners of those gauges.

I have had them for 2 years now with no problems. If you are getting the fuel pressure gauge make sure you remote mount the sending unit 24" away from engine. I mounted the sending unit to the vp44 lasted only 6 months. Glow shift sent me one under warranty and I mounted it to the fire wall. No problems since this update. I just order the exhaust temp and just got it today. I was happy with service from Glow Shift. Best bang for the dollars out there. Just Goggle them and you will see what they look like.

Thanks for the response, still looking for more to see if anyone actually had anything negative and why.

i have had no problem with my glowshift gauges. The one thing i could not do however was to get my edge thermocouple to work with my glowshift pyrometer. I had to use their supplied thermocouple. I thought the gauge was broke so i sent it to them with nothing but the gauge and they said it was good and sent it back with all new hardware and everything no problems what so ever. so not only a good product for the money customer service goes a long way

Well, you can't beat the price, that's for sure! Seems that most of the problems I have read about, at other forums, have to do with the senders and not the gauges themselves....

That is good news that the gauges are good, and seems like the warranty on them is pretty good too.
