White Face Gauges Not Glow
Whats up Fellas I have a 1997 4runner i have the glow gauges on and have been using them for about 6 months. They SUCK. They cut in and out all the time. Check all connections and even ran them off a power supply and shook the harness didnt cut out so i reinstalled them. About a day later they cut out again. SO i am looking for a simple white gauge NO GLOW with black numbers. You guys know anywhere i can get them Please help. I would like some that say TRD on them like on the tach or something. Or i can customize a set with no decal..... THANKS!!!

First, a suggestion. A common mistake when installing these is to hook up the power supply for the glo gauges to the dash lights. The gauges have a little black box for the power supply - it's an inverter. If connected to the dash lights, if you dim the dash lights the voltage to the little inverter drops. It tries to keep up but will overheat (and eventually burn out.)
You might check that first. Needs full power. Also be sure you ground it securely to metal ground, not tapped into some other wire. I've had a set of aftermarket glow gauges in the F150 for almost 3 years now, works fine.
