Sorry, replying to an old thread.
How is the reliability on these GlowShift gauges?
I see them pop up every time I enter "yaris" and "gauge" in Google.

I think the general concensus is that "they look pretty cool." Personaly, I found the Tach needle response time barely acceptable--that's why I went with the Sunpro. I don't have any personal experience with any of the other Glowshift guages (water temp, oil press, etc.), but I have heard that they work just fine.

My brother and I did the install yesterday on my 2009 LB and I just wanted to note a few differences.
1. Tach wire on the OBD is tan but in the same bottom left location.
2. The dimmer wire that I used was one of the two brown wires. I chose the darker one and it works perfectly with the light switch (on with the headlights, off without).
3. I used an add-a-fuse with the #22 slot.

Thanks for the info on this thread!

Congratulations on the install of the tach, but hey, let's see a pic of that installation !

all ive got for the moment. i was obviously psyched/suprised to see it working.

auxmike · 12-27-2008, 07:59 PM

Does anybody market a really small tach? One with an analog (needle) display?

LOL OMG U HAVE TEH SAME TACH AS ME.

My hair isn't as curly though.

XYaris · 12-28-2008, 12:03 AM

I bought this at autozone for 30 bucks...2 and 3/8". thats as small as i think would be practical. Any bigger would also be a little "boy racer" for my taste. In my online research i think i saw some watch-like tachs selling for way too much.

AlexNet0 · 12-28-2008, 09:39 AM

same as mine too

Does that interfere with the driver's glovebox at all?

i actually did not drill through the steering column cover and used a velcro strip to attach it. (kinda lame but effective) this way i can access the glove box if necessary.

mikenacarato · 12-29-2008, 02:20 AM

definately not the same wire colors as my '09. good writeup though, it did help me get to where i needed to get to. the new tach signal wire is in its original location but is now light brown

TickleTimeTim · 01-15-2009, 11:32 PM

I'm excited to get a tach and put it in now, but am missing one last detail. What do I set the redline at? I just want to know how high in the rpms that I can ride up into without redlining. I have an 07 liftback 5 spd if that makes a difference.

TickleTimeTim · 01-16-2009, 12:31 AM

nvm, just saw on toyotanation that the yaris has a rev limiter somewhere around 6200. anyone know if this is accurate?

Yeah it's around there. I've only done it once since I've had my tach installed.

PETERPOOP · 01-16-2009, 03:35 AM

pretty sure that is correct. i wouldn't go no higher than that.
