Here is how they came out, you have to see them in person to really be impressed. I think they look amazing.

It is turned to accessory, so don't mind the oil pressure.






Sorry the second pic is blurry, you can't take a pic of it with the flash on. And without flash it does stabilize.

Anyways, thanks for the help guys.

Well they look awesome, especially at night. But all I have lit up for now is the needle. Still, it looks awesome.

When you put the needels back on sometimes you put them on harder than they originaly were. Try to pullit out a little and that should fix your problem!

+1000. you cant put them on reall tight. i dont know why the heck the gauge face would come up though. where did you get them? i would try to make that stick down and very carefully pry up a little on the needle so it isnt quite so far down.

I think that might be the problem. At first the battery gauge was stuck, but that was before I put the rest back on. I fixed that by prying it up at the base, but I might have affected the speedometer gauge..it was most likely my dad because he was helping me. He's like a bull in a china shop. No more touching my car for him.

Yeah as stated if you pulled off the needles to swap your gauges you more than likely pushed them in TOO FAR, that they touch the guages or aren't in the 'loose' position they need to be in and will get stuck and not read correctly. I have swapped my guages about 5 times, so I know! LOL
