Default Fuel Gauge

I had my reverse glo gauges put in and havent really had time to mess with it, but the fuel gauge is off. When Im near empty it sets at just a lil over half a tank. And when its full it sets well past the full mark. Could I just open the gauge cover up and move the needleit by hand to fix this? or is it more technical?

Your best bet is to go fill the car up so you know you have a full tank. Remove the gauge cover and pull the needle off and reset it at full. When they installed it they positioned the needle wrong. Its not hard to do.
