Has anyone got a day and night pic of this gauge? I'm sure I've seen one on here but can't seem to find it!

Lee, have you had any problems with it staying on the colour you want? i have three of these and the colour will stay red then the next time i start the car they have all gone back to blue.
No, you need to wire one of the wires to a permanent 12v there is one on the fuse board top row, use a multimeter.
I have done that i used the cigarette lighter live , its that they stay the colour i have set for a couple of days then go back to blue.
Strange, mine stays on red all the time.
You 100% sure it's live 24/7 ?
Even when the car is locked?

Yeah i'm fairly sure, i think i will have to check again now LOL, just to double check to set the colour you press the button in for a couple of seconds or so?
I've got the bar version of this guage. I thought the number spacing and numbing its self is closer to the LC guages. Like others I got stung for the £13 Royal Mail and VAT as well.

anybody know if I can use the Autometer oil pressure sender I already have bolted on with these gauges?

no. You don't hold the button for a couple of seconds. You press it the cycle through the colors - don't hold it
I presume you have not set it one of the two modes that it cycles through the colors
I think you have it wired wrong
The lighter supply is switched and is not on permanent and that's why the color resets.
I can't remmber the colors but you have connect two of the wires togeher and put this to a switched live (this also lights the needle), other to a permanent live (this is needed so it can remember the color you had it at) and other to earth
I see you have it installed in the center console so not sure where you'll get a switched and permanent supply around there. I took mine from the lights and dimmer switch

I have a switched wire coming from the dimmer switch and the 12v lighter socket is not switched it is constant live i have just checked, the colours stay for a couple of days then go back, i pick the colour switch the ignition off (remove the key) and its the same colour but as i have said a couple of days or so later they will go back to blue.
