Default Question about putting in gauges...

I installed some indiglo gauges the other day on my car and the gas and water temp. gauges aren't working because the hole around where the needle's base is stopping their rotation. At least that's what I think. Do you pull out the stock faces first and then set the new ones down or do you just put them over the original ones? Can ya'll help me out?

unscrew those little philip screws and lay them over your stock gauge then put those screws back on.

That's what I did but for some strange reason they still won't turn.

no worries.

the holes in the guages are big enough for the base of the needle right?

you didn't remove the needles when you installed the guages did you?

i know before when i had some in my car that if you removed the needles then you broke the guages.

1. take out those little pain in the dick screws.

2. its weird but bend and slide the indiglos over the needles without taking the needles off

3. put the screws back in

4. wire it up. i'd explain more but it doesn't sound like you have a problem with this yet

I did all that but it seems like the holes on the new gaugues aren't big enough for the base of the needle to rotate.
