Default Depo racing gauges

Hi all, I recall there being a group buy a while back for these. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on them now they have them fitted. Are they accurate,easy to fit ect???

Hi,

I bought them at that group buy. So far, very satisfied. I like that although they are smoked, they are still enough transparent to clearly see readings on bright sun with sunglasses on. As I had this problem with previous Swoosh ones (total crap).
Second, they have lenses with just a bit of zoom, so it's easy to read.
For electric ones, they are accurate as you should expect from them, so just fine.
Fitting is EASY if I compare it with Swoosh installation... No need to wire each one of them to power source, just connect one and others are then connected with daisy chain cable with connectors - you get them with gauges. So, installation is easy.
As I said, I'm satisfied with them so far, hope they will last longer then Swoosh.

Dealer for UK is Prolex (great service!), see prices on their site.

One night pic in action is here, it's the only one I have. For close-up pics of actual gauges, see Prolex or Mr. Google.

Angry Prolex / Depo gauges

Sorry to report but prolex are the biggest shower of **** i've ever had the misfortune to encounter, couldn't organise a knees up in a brewery. Awful awful service, terrible experience, left with 1/2 the items i ordered, & lost money. Avoid this joker!

But £600 for boost gauge is little bit OTT(error or someone is greedy)
