Anybody using Dolphin Gauges? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was trying to find out some information on how easy it is to hook up the electronic/programmable set versus the mechanical set. There website leaves much to be desired for tech help and questions.

Someone over at Camaros.net was having some problems with their gauges. The speedo was backlit just fine, but the tach was really dim. You might want to do a search over there about it.

There is a guy on here that is having the same problem. Apparently Dolphin knows about the problem, and they told him to use a resistor to drop the brightness of the brighter gauge down to match the dim one. Kind of crappy seeing as how expensive those gauges are. Here is the link:

Someone over on the HAMB was also having problems with those gauges.

I saw the post about the lighting issues. I was asking more about how the electronic ones hooked up versus the mechanical.
