Ok I took my dash apart yesterday so I could scan the gauges, but when I got to the point of removing the needles (the caps anyway) I found they didnt want to budge. I dont want to take a chance messing them up by force them off, so does anyone have any tips on how to remove these suckers? As soon as I get them removed I can scan & post!
Oh ya just a side comment......while I had everything apart I saw that theres 2 little thick green plastic pieces that make the turn signals blink green. They pop out easily SO I found some thick blue plastic to replace them....& now my turn signals blink blue...Woohoo....I guess yesterday wasn't a complete waste haha...... Ok really though how do I remove those needle parts? grrr! ***** I forgot to ask if it matters that I have a 99?? Anyone else w/ a 99 ever removed their needles??***** This post has been edited by amysmojo: Sep 19, 2004 - 12:16 PM --------------------  |
