if you pulled your needles out, most likely you messed up the thing. You can to put them on and start the car, run it and see if its about right.

If you pulled them out, you're pretty much **** outta luck.

I've heard some people driving next to someone and recording the speed and rpm and putting it on like that. Other than that, you'd have to get it put on professionally and have it calibrated and all that nonsense. Many people screw it up when they try to put in those whack indigo gauges. The needles are VERY sensitive, even touching them a bit too roughly will mess them up.

Oh, if it's not your speedo or tach, then do what you just said, you'll be fine.
