group buy gauge's problem

I installed the set of gauges from the group buy and after driving for about ten mins. or so the gauges start to flicker a little then start to flicker a lot. Only happens in full indiglo not in reverse indiglo. Anybody have had this problem? What could be the problem?

Are the gauges hard to remove if I have to remove them?

the gauges are easy to remove. They peel off and you just scrape the two sided tape off with your nails. Any kind of warranty on this stuff? You can try ebay or do a search for transformers. Most places that sells the gauge also sell the transformer.

I bought them from a member here. And i'm sure there is no warranty, since the group buy was a couple of year's ago. Anybody have gauges from procarparts.com? If so, how are they?

I have the gauge that procarparts.com sells. My works great, not dimming or anything. I believe we both can use the same type of tranformer and switch. I remember a website where you could buy the transformer and switch seperately, did you search on procarparts.com?
