KT chip switcher

Does anyone have any experience with them?
Diamond T Hydra Chip Selector Switch

I am looking at getting one about using it with the HYDRA chip and mounting it in a column pod

What color is the LED when lit? it is changeable?

Morning Brad, related but not exactly apples to apples; I have the KT Diamond T 6 position switch and can comment on build quality and reliability. It works great and I've never has any issues with it, very pleased.

I have one. Mine is green and it is not changeable.
It looks like a hydra selector mounted in a isspro gauge housing. I ended up cutting it up a bit so I could disconnect the ribbon cable from the pod. I didn't feel like pulling the computer if I ever needed to remove the trim piece the switcher was mounted in. I think I took some pictures of the "mods" and ill post them up later.

I CAREFULLY cut the housing with a hacksaw and used some diagonal cutters / razor blade to remove enough material that I could plug in the connector again. I made the first hacksaw cut a little to close to the bezel.

Also this is how it compares to ISSOPRO EV2 gauges.
