Needles sticking on glow gauges...

I have installed some indiglo gauges and now my needles are sticking. Anyone know how you can get them to lay more flat? Any suggestions appreciated.

youre gonna have to remove the old gauges. and use some 3m emblem adhesive on the new gauges and stick them to the bare clear plastic. if you leave the light bulb in for your odo, be prepared for the gauges to warp. mine are doing it now.

Will replacement LEDs also warp them? Thanks for the props on the sig. My fiance (who is a graphic designer) will do sigs for guys on the org for a small fee. PM me if interested.

Try a few pieces of strategically placed double sided tape. This is what I did, and when I got rid of the glow gauges it just took a little goo b gone to get the leftover adhesive off to go back to the stock look.

no leds shouldnt warp them i have blue leds behind all my needles and i have had no problems i believe bulbs may warp them due to heat but leds dont produce heat
