Dashboard Gauges

[cro_23q2002]

I have a 93 civic gli sedan...and i bought the white EL Gauges and i was just wondering if anyone knows whether the needle pops off...or how else would i go about going around the needle to install the gauges...

u just simply pull out the needle place face n pop needle back on

hyou don't have to? you can manuevure it so you don't have to take out the needle.

DO NOT TAKE NEEDLES OFF, i had this problem with my auto electrician til i showed the *ucken idiot that they slide str8 through the pins, as i said DO NOT TAKE THOSE NEEDLES OFF
my one went through three dashes before i figured it out for the tosser.

there out of my car , sold em month ago, but they slide straight through the needle, how Much more basic could that be lol?
put the actual hole of the EL dials, through the needle first, then should slide straight through and sit nice and flush, repeat with all gauges.

fadz is right u dont take the needle off. if u do say bye bye and hello to a new cluster!

[fadz]

Yes, correct lol, my auto electrician said hi to 3 new clusters :) , he payed for all of em seein they wer all his mistake in the end i told him if i can slide em str8 through i aint paying a cent for installation, and they did, so got it done for free. :)
