I would like to install white face gauges but do not want to remove needles. Are there white face guages that can be installed without removing the needles?

SE OEM gauges. You can swap all of them in, but to keep it legal you will need to remove one needle, which is not as hard as you might think.

You could probably have a dealership roll an odometer forward if you can find one with lower mileage than the one you have.

I just got the reverse Indiglo Gauges that slide right on over the stock gauges and look good...just make sure they are sitting well so the needles dont stick

I did both types of gauges and i didnt have to remove the needles for neither the reverse indiglo or the indiglo.

i cut my old gauges off to, but whatever you do dont put it over your old one cause your needles wont work right. Use the directions from www.maximadriver.com

ummi have had them working perfectly over the old ones and that is what the directions said when i ordered them from custom maxima...

the only problem you will have is if the opening around the needle is not fully sitting flush against the old guage. if any little part is sticking up the needle will catch.. i used a few drops of super glue right around the opening and...being very careful not to get glue on the needle.....sliped it on and held it down... works great and havent had any problems... i was going to cut the old guage off but then light shines through the needle hole and.. i didnt want that...

well for some reason, even tho i didnt touch the needles, when i hooked mine back up the needles were sitting like strait down, so i stuck some lil silver screws in the holes at the left corner of the guages for the needle to set on. unfortunately, i didnt get the gas guage on strait and i still gotta fix it. i ran out of gas once cuz i couldnt tell the lil light was one

Geophrum

yeah the gas light i cant see on mine either and i left the little black tab on my original guage so it stops were it used to

i will get pictures soon

I just installed the new GEN2 Reverse indiglo EL gauges in my 96.... Got them for $40US off e-bay......They look amazing, and the install is pretty straight forward if you take your time....my only problem is that the needle is sticking on my speedometer gauge, because i didn't use enough double sided tape....but ill fix that next time i open the cluster up.
