O.K. my glow's are on as off last night. The dash was a bicth but don't let it intimadate you...Just go slow and have sone extra sips of an alcoholic beverage to give you that extra confidence

After said and done the double sided tape of course is a must but what I did was stick it on first on the gauge and then slide it in over the black ones and with a razor peel back a corner remove the other side then stick it onto the originals. (Hopefully that just made sense)

Moving on,...The gauges look sweet I personally love them but unfortunately the middle gauge needle gets sort of stuck around 40 miles mark. So I have to find a way to possibly move the needle back away from the gauge a bit so it can move freely...

The buttons I ran them behind the dash and made them come out on the left side of the steering wheel. Only exposing the two buttons. I have to admit it looks nice a flush.

Don't have a digicam but I will snap some pics, scan them and show them on here soon....

My only question to the experts is the middle needle would it be safe to gently give it a little pull upward so it won't be so close the indiglo gauge. Hopefully this will allow it to move freely???

Let me know, and Nate I appreciate your patience and innitiation for this...

 

I'd be very careful if you pull on the gauges. I wouldn't recommend it.

What I did with my last set of indiglos was this:

slightly bend them. I put enough pressure to fold them like a taco without putting a crease down the middle. after persuading them for a while, they were extrememly flat. No need for sticky tape or anything. Never had a problem with my needles.

(of course these were from APC and for a different car, but should basically work the same.)

 

Thanks Baggs I'll give that a try...

Anyone else have any other suggestions....?

 

I took a razor blade and trimmed the inside of the needles on the bottom. I think that the tape is #1 suggestion and the trim is #2. With all of the on and off of the dash I would suggest removing the stearing wheel shaft cover so that it is not scratched.

 

Check this out I think I have a solution....As for the stearing wheel shaft I place a towel to make sure no scrathes are produced during the removal.

As for the needle my friend has this industrial dremel. We plan on putting a light bit and simply and carfully sand down the area in the needle where its causesing it to get stuck...

Then for the dust and crap like that get a computer keyboard air pressure cleaner thingie and just spray it all off...

Let me know what you guys think...

 

OK guys... here's the method: remove the gauge cluster entirely. Once you have it out, take off the clear plastic cover. With the plastic cover off, reinstall the gauge cluster. Once the cluster is back in and powered up, you can remove the needles and put them back on. When you put them back on, remember not to push down to far. This should clear up all your sticky needle problems. Finally, snap the clear plastic cover back on (you can do this without having to remove the gauges again), and button up the dash.

 

Maybe you should look at other member's problem.
Indiglo Problems

 

when you remove the needles you have to recalibrate. it's not easy, you need 2 cars and 2 cell phones and good driving skills to pace with each other.

if you don't recalibrate your speedo, even if you put the needle at zero, your speed will be off by 5 mph faster.

TIP: if you are too lazy to drive around and calibrate (if your needle is already out), when the car is at rest, put the needle about 1.5 mm BELOW the black pointer thingy that the needle rests on.


I know because i pulled my speedo and rpm needles out

 

Why do you have to pull needles out???

 

Brian no offense buddy but you don't have to pull the needles out. Actually thats the very thing you should avoid doing. Last resort you know...
