hi there, i put my gauges in and now my speedometer and odometer stick, sometime it jumps and other times they dont move at all, i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem, im not sure what to do to fix it, im goin to try and take them off again and put them back on and hopefully that will fix it. if u have any tips or anything that would be great.

What? You took off your needles to install the gauges?
Use some doublesided tape around the inner holes of the gauges and any area that seems to be 'bubbling'. That usually does it for everyone that has the sticking problem. If it doesnt, you might have some serious probs.
k i finally grabbed my balls and did it myself, cause i was gonna go let the pro do it for $60 but i had to do it myself then i wont regret it. it was easier than i thought, took about 45mins and the harder part was cutting that wire and connection the gauge wire to the connector's wire. went pretty smooth, and looks cool too. but one thing, my color button is flashing and going off and on, dont know why its doing that...anyone?

do u really need the glue? mine stayed up there pretty good, do u think that might be why my needles are getting caught on the guages?[hr]
I just used tape on mine. My speedometer was getting caught around 60-70 mph and then jump past it because of a bend in the gauge. I stuck some tape behind it and no more stickin....
Here are mine...
They are silver during the day and reverse indiglo blue or blue green at night. The tape is directly below the speedometer needle center, there is also a piece of tape at the 60-70 mph section and the 100-110 section. I also put tape in roughly the same places on the tachometer. it seems to hold pretty good. Haven't had any problems with them.

Yeah, it really isnt that hard. Its a nice project to start off at to build your modding skills. I would suggest checking the wires running from the control tab. Maybe the connection is off.
