I took everything apart today to put a new face on but now I am at the point of taking off the needles and I have not clue on how to take them off? Is it just a pop off thing? will it mess up the calibration? anyone who has done this please explain !

 

If you are putting on an overlay, do NOT take the needle off. Hard to calibrate and unnecessary. Just try to slide it on between the actual needle and the gauge. It is possible just make sure you don't break the needles. removing the needles are not necessary

I am trying to put this on so I don't see how to do it without removing the needles/gauges.

 

dag, i really like that gauge, im tired of looking at all that orange all the time. haha. good luck! post with updates.

 

Everytime i see the logo on that gauge cluster it reminds me of the nopi logo.

 

can anyone help me?

 

i seen this like years ago, but i wouldnt buy it because of that logo. lol look like star trek. or u can just take apart ur speedometer and remove the orange overlay and put on blue tints. i have seen guys done this.

 

Lay the cluster flat and point all the needles in the same direction. Then you slide the clusters through the needles taking your time. Things will be snug and tricky but it will lay in there as long as they overlay was designed to go on with the needles still installed. You should check that first. I am sure they are if they didn't give you the cheap plastic tool to pop the needles.

 

 

oh really?

I i hate the logo too but I just had to try it.

 

The logo ruins it for me. If it was plain i would consider it, but the logo makes it too racer-ish...which i am trying to avoid.


However, the idea of changing the gauges does interest me. I'd like overlays, but i'm very selective.

 

yeah I was not willing to take the cluster apart and mess with calibration no one really seemed to help me when I asked around or I would of sanded it and changed it to blue LEDS. but it looks ok for now untill I do.

 

I'd like to have blue LEDs. I thought the guy who took it apart and did that made it look sweet.

 

yeah I agree! next step
