Did u take off the needles when u put the gauges on? . U need to remember where your gauges were before , RPM on start and idle,fuel ,temp gauge. U just need to play around with it to adjust it.

i took a pic and i put the needles right back where they were u think if i plugged the guages in without putting on the protective plastic and adjust it like that it would be easier?

You need to play around in them. If you push them in too far they wont work .It needs to be about 3/4 way down. Just play around with it and turn on the car and try to readjust them. Its a game
