I've got one and it works just fine. It has two brightness modes and even the dimmer is a wee bit bright at night. Easy to install and works as Dawes said it would.

I just bought the new one from them and it is way too bright. It give me a headache at night with the bright led's shining in my face. I had to mount it with the led's pointing up to solve this problem. Other than that it works perfectly for it's intended purpose. Make sure you follow the directions and ground it to the battery or you will never get it to work right. This thing is only accurate at wot.

Hey Blue1995RX7,

You said that you could dim your. Is this one of the old ones or the new one they are selling. I don't see how to dim mine.

I have an Apexi turbo timer installed behind my steering wheel. I originally installed the Dawes A/F gauge on top of that. Once the lights started bothering me I jimmied it behind the turbo timer with only the led's visible behind the turbo timer. I had to cram it between the instument cluster and the steering column cover. You don't really notice until the light come on. Now the lights don't bother me any more except it makes my tach look green when I'm driving.
