ok i did it all and got all the needles back on, but now im having some needle stickage. i did a search threw the forums and i think i may have just put the needles back on too tight, so later im going to try to wiggle them looser...i haope this works cause being stuck at 80 mph when im stopped and being at 20mph when im at 80 isnt cool...they always unstick themselves so i know nothing is broken.....oh yea i didnt glue or tape down the pic so its loose...could it be sticking on that?

Ya the needles can be a pain in the ass but I think its all worth it haha.
Just try not to put them back on tight, dont push down too hard. I found it easier putting them back on by having the gauges connected in the car w/ the key turned so I can see where the needles should jump up to. -------------------- |

it'd just cut them like aftermarket gauges and slip them over the needles
if you've ever baught indiglos they can slide over the needle and still not have a hole bigger than your pt of view... as for sticking, try some perminent double sided tape. it'll fix it right up, as long as your gauges aren't bent. -------------------- |

OOh no no, take your old gauges off altogether! You dont need them, if you leave them on not much light will shine thru your new image at all! I slapped some PIAA super white wedge bulbs into mine, looks much better!! then as Consynx said use double sided tape to apply the replacement -------------------- |
