About the needles not moving, the gauges are probably not glued right, so they're lfting and they rub with the needles.

it looks like its cleared though...=/ do u think i might of damaged the needle? or not plug it in correctly?

I thought that I had taped everything ok, and everything looked ok. But when I decided to open it up it was in fact rubbing with the needle.

hahahah i just installed el gagues i can answer ur all ur questions # 1 ur not suppose to glue dem because when you put the gagues over the top of ur factors it gets to bulky and the needle will get stuck # 2 when u place the screws in MAKE SURE IT IS SCREWED in tight because i didnt and and my needle got stuck .. well my car is a 1998 camry and the headlight lamp is the green wire under your fuse box ( BE CAREFULL NOT TO PULL THE WRONG WIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! der are more than one green wire sometimes.!!. you need a testlight. its a device where you ground one side to the cars bare metal and the other side is a needl and you jam it into the wires to test which light is your drive light to make 100% sure. DONT FOOL AROUND with the wires because u can blow fuses eaily that damn thing made me blow 2 fuses!! because in the end i found out my testlight was broken lol... Oo btw if der is electicial current the test light will go on.!)

ray_ray also did a gauge install. If you go in the audio forum, there's a link to his site where you can find his DIYD's (Do It Your Damned Self).

He had a complete write-up with pictures on how to install it.

when i installed mine, i had a button to turn them on or off, and what i did was connect the power to the hot wire for my cd player, and the ground also to my cd player ground... but if yours doesnt have a button or switch dont go that way, or buy a little switch at discoun tautoparts, and wire from any hot wire in the car.

yo racer rodney i cant thank you enough for posting a (DIYDS) i woulda broke alot of things lol it was a really good walk through

[BuDDHa510]

so in my situation right now , do u think i can still make it work? even though i super glu it already? , im pretty sure i just missed wire or did sum thing wrong in the back.. damm my speedometer looks funky=/ it says 20 mphs!

Super glue worked fine for me this is my 2nd indiglo that I installed since I got tired of the last one. But make sure during the install you DIDN'T take off the needles when putting on the indiglos and make sure your needle is not UNDER the little pointer that holds the needle upward, check every plug behind the cluster I'm sure one is not plugged or loose. Make sure your indiglo is grounded and to a power suppy most likely in your fuse box, the fuse that turns on your headlights. Chances that your guages are rubbing the needles are slim since you said both your Rpm and speedo dont move thats like putting on the guages blindly.

I had used glue at first, so I had to go back and remove all the dry glue from the back of the gauges and then use thin double sided tape.

my glue is holding up well after about eight months.. i used fabric glue. I had to reglue the speedo about seven times to get it to not stick... I ended up ripping off the stock denso gauge face and gluing the indiglow straight to the clear plexi glass where the factroy gauge was. Theres no going back now but it worked and I am snag free.

just watch out with that glue if it gets cold in your area. It expands when it freezes when the temperature is in the 30s and causes the needle to snag until the car is warm.

It takes a ton of patience and its very frustrating to get these to work... I almost wish I never bothered,
