damn i think i really messed up. i rushed the installation and didnt stop to think of the obvious way to slip in the gauges. instead i went on and took off the needles and put the gauges down. damn these gauges should have came with an instruction manual. thats what i get for buying used.

i doubt the gauges come with good instructions new anyway... especially if its off eBay...

should've just searched the forum or another for the how to on gauge installation... oh well i'm sure they're not beyond repair

Buy a new gauge cluster, that's the only thing I can think of.

I have them and they are a pain the in ***. I first thought you had to remove the needles to get them on. This is when I did not know much about cars or about anything like this. I took off all the needles and then the mph one would not go back on. I had to buy a new stock face one and have that installed for me. Then the needled kept getting stuck on the gauges. I then used doubled sided sticky tape and worked them around the needles. The needles kept giving me problems over and over and finally have everything lined up. The fuel needle is very slow going up after I fill the car. The gauges look nice though at night time so after spending more money then I wanted to on these gauges I finally got it done. I want nothing to do with them anymore or to ever touch again.

instead of wiring it to its own switch that it comes with, how do you have it turn on when you turn on your headlights.
