Indiglo Gauges Problem

Okay, So I got the indiglo gauges off of autodynamic.com. Install went fine, though having issue's with getting the color to change. If I move the switch around it will change colors... sometimes, but no control over what color. If I shut the lights off, and then back on again, they go back to the greenish color. I want the color to be blue all the time.

Also, when I mess around with the wire that plugs into the switch part, i do get a pretty little shock. Anybody else have this issue??

Try to see if there are some broken wires there. You may want to contact AutoDynamic first to see what their return policy is. Best thing to do is get a new set if they let you before tinkering too much with it.

There were no visible broken wires anywhere... I will give autodynamic a call once I get out of class.

Well, I called and they said it was the brain that was messed up. So I have to send just that back and wait for them to send a new one to me. ... waiting game sucks.

Did you put double sided tape behind the gauges? There may be a lump in the gauge that prevents the needle to move freely.
