Hey I was wondering if anyone has used these Glow Shift Gauges before. I found them on Ebay and I can get 3 gauges of my choice and a 3 pod pillar for 155 shipped. But before I bought them I was curious about if anyone has used them and how the fitment and look was with them..also how well do the gauges work. Dont want to spend money on something that is shit so any help would be great..Thanks

well saying as they cost as much nearly as one autometer gauge i would be hesitant on their accuracy, that is the reason you buy aftermarket gauges afterall right...for accuracy vs fords stock gauges.

Hey man i have some in my 99gt..I've got the trans temp, air fuel, and oil pres...They all work great for me. They read the same as the autometers that i used to have in there but i've moved them to my 94. I've had them for about 6 months and have been very pleased with mine..

boost vacuum kinda reads like 5 lower than its supposed to and the fuel pressure one reads about 3 higher sometimes than its suppose to.. there accurate for the most part but there not perfect but for the money there not bad at all..

hey man, old thread i know but i have the same glow shift gauges 3 pillar, im not happy with them at all really, i should have guessed it though, i have the electrical ones and they are totally inconsistent with anything. I roll down the window and my fuel pressure gauge shoots up to like 40+psi and the oil pressure sender was a nightmare to get it so i didnt even hook it up. Im thinking of getting rid of these things and dishing out the money to get autometer gauges. The pillar piece is made of inferior plastic and doesnt hold its shape well, at least on the windshield side, it looks like the pillar is doing a "wave" cause its rippled. IMO i wouldnt recomend these to anyone. possibly mechanical gauges are allright but IDK as far as electrical ones, no go.

Yup I got them and the pillar is cheap as hell and doesn't come with anything to mount it correctly and it flimsy so that sucks. The gauges are pretty crappy, I already had one with the button kinda break and wouldnt let me change to the color I wanted. These are the electric ones also. No one buy these they are crap and cheap. you might as well fork out the money for some good quality ones but now im paying for the crap and gona get some good ones.

A little off subject, but I bought one of their shift lights and the quality was lacking. Oh sure, it lights and tells me when to shift fairly accurately, but comes in a cheap housing and lighting is not uniformed like more expensive units. You get what you pay for..........
