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 --------------------  |

i drove the car last night with the gauge for the first time and the lights were on. i guess that could be what it was. i'll see if i get the same thing today in the day time. i'll look into swapping the bulbs out to LEDs - im assuming thatll help. thanks man.
