Another crap issue with the Glowshift gauges is the the constant +12VDC connection required to remember the last color setting can drain a good car battery dead in about 2~4 weeks if the car is being stored. I have a set of 3 of the black 7 color series analog (oil pressure, oil temp & water temp) gauges in my FC. Last winter that's exactly what happened while my car was sitting in the garage for a few weeks. Did a little electrical troubleshooting and determined the current draw on my 3 gauges was 250 mA (= 1/4 Amps) when off.... Naturally I only discovered this after the warranty expired. So until I get some good gauges, I added a switch to cut the constant +12VDC to keep my battery alive.
