the gauges have this memory thing that allows them to remember wut the last color u used was.. from wut ive seen it doesnt draw enough to kill the battery.

i can't wait till tax season to get cash to get new gauges. the glowshift elite series are ****** sick. just like the nexus but you don't need the stupid ****** module. they do a start up sweep etc. when you turn them on and you can piggy back them for power etc. good price and very accurate.

For the constant power on my glowshift I ran a wire and one of those easy connectors right behind the accessory outlet in the front of the console. I already used an add-a-circuit for my other 3 gauges.
