Default Indiglo 5th gen help

I searched but can't find any instructions on how to install it on a 94 accord. Can someone help me out here. I have it all opened up, just the part where you put the indiglos in, that's where I'm stuck, any help here guys.

To put the indiglos in i popped off the needles. Be very carefull that you dont bend then they will stick and give inaccurate readings.

I haven't done it but I have read about it and do not touch or mess with the needles. You will be screwed if you mess with them. Slide the guages in behind the needles.

Yeah, like he said just slide the gauges in behind the needles. That's what I did with my civic.

I just did that, and when I rev the Needle gets stuck at like 4K then suddendly jumps to 6K. Then When i took it apart and looked at it carefully the needle touches the indiglo at which point makes it stick alil. That's why now im thinking of taking the originaly gauge out the BLACK part then putting the indiglo back, which wont make it stick any more. How can I do that without touching the needle since it will get messed up?

Try using a unibit on your drill to enlarge the center hole in the overlay that goes around the needle on the guage face, I did this and it stopped the needles from sticking in my old Crx cluster.

(We are talking '00/'01 here).


No need to remove the needles, the overlay slips right over them.
