gauge needle lights dont work
not to long ago I bought an em1 shell. (theft recovery) well since then I have put in some work into it. my problem now is I bought a b16a2 swap with the si cluster. I noticed the check engine light bulb was taken out, and it doesnt light up even. theres also light coming out thru the corners, and my gas and heat needles dont light up. ive searched bout the needles but nothing came up. one last question. my temp gauge doesnt work. could the cluster being bad cause that or is a sensor in the engine bay?

ILL RE CHECK. MY QUESTION IS WHY THE GAUGE READINGS WOULD LIGHT UP BUT NOT THE NEEDLES? ALSO WOULD MY TEMP GAUGE NOT WORKING CAUSE MY CAR TO RUN RICH? I READ THAT IF MY ENGINE READS COLD ALL THE TIME THE ECU WILL FEED IT MORE FUEL.

You should just replace all the globes with new ones on the back of your cluster. You prob have missed one somewhere, are using crap globes... Possibly the red covering on the globes is blacking out parts of the globe but not others, hence showing in some parts but not others. Maybe a couple are blown.
A real quick thing could be to try move the working globes to different positions on the back of the cluster and you will then confirm that it is infact a few bad globes.

negative...... if the sensor INPUT to the ecu is outta threshold it could run rich.... if your guage is off that has to do with the engine temp. sending unit... u may be confusing it with the ect or engine coolant temp. sensor... which is for the fuel injection...
