So I just installed a black TRD boost gauge - looks sooo sexy. I love it, but holy crap it gets hot... as in heat-hot. I'm pretty sure I wired everything correctly, but when I touch the bezel or clear face of the gauge, it's really hot. Is this normal? if not, what could it be?
EDIT: it's a mechanical gauge, if it matters. This post has been edited by JoKeRkId613: Aug 12, 2007 - 12:42 PM --------------------  |

it shouldn't get hot. Is the lighting on it always on or something? since its mechanical the only thing attached to it that would make it hot are the wires for the lights.
