indiglows with needles that light

i just installed my indiglows. they look great, but i only put one bulb in to light up the odometer. it also lights up the fuel and temp guages. i didnt put bulbs in the others, because it says to take them out and run the wires through the holes. it would look much better with all the needles lit up. any one run the wires a different way so they could leave all the bulbs in? in gonna crack it all back open monday, but wanted to see if anyone else got this wired up right. got any pics of how you wired them?

No pics of how i wired mine, but I just ran the wire out the side of the guage cluster...they light up fine, and i still have all the bulbs in the back...the only time you can see the light from the bulbs is when you turn the brightness of the indiglos all the way down, and even then you can only see a little glow from the sides....so I just ran the wire out of the side of the cluster.... in between the white and black piece

Are you talking about the indiglo needle kit, or something else? Cause I've got the Import Intelligence indiglo needle kit along with the indiglo gauges (FYI: don't EVER do this combo - kinds sucks) and if I turn my gauges down quite a bit, you can see the needles a lot better. But I've still gotta go back in there and either change out the bulbs or put different colored pieces to cover them with.

my friend had the import intelligence needles, they looked really nice and install seemed pretty easy.

i noticed today that my gas guage isnt working correctly now! i moved it around when i was installing the guages. i didnt think i did anything wrong, because the other needles moved freely but the gas one was spongy feeling. did i break it by moving it?? what should i do to try and fix it?
