Go to www.se-r.net and got to the mailing list archives. I've seen this talked about there quite a bit. Search baby. Good luck.

Who's directions did you follow? Import Intelligence's?
If you did, try going to http://www.maximadriver.com and go to the how2 section. He has a writeup also on how to put on the Import Intelligence overlays.

Push the needle back on at 4oclock. Gently turn the needle, while pressing down, until you turn it to the recalibration point that you previously noted. If you over shoot, that's ok, just go around again CCW.

I would assume you turn CLOCKWISE when putting them on, since you turned COUNTERCLOCKWISE to take them off. But if you overshoot, you "go around again CCW"... That suggests ALL of the turning is counterclockwise. Which is it? Also, in the instructions to take them off, you don't start the lifting action until after the first 3 turns. When reattaching, do you continuously and gently press down the whole time? Or is it just for the first few turns?

When Reattaching them you position the needle at 4 o'clock and press down. Press down with a little pressure as you turn the needle counterclockwise to the recalibration point. I went around twice... one full sweep past 4 o'clock back to the calibration point. Worked great.
Thanks to SLCI30t for the instructions... check this thread for more details.

I did my white guage faces & intelliglow needles...and i had some problems with the temp & fuel needles when i put them back , but i just plugged the whole dash into the 3 cords and just played around until i go the temp needle to stay dead in the center after car heated up after 10-15min...as for fuel needle i got it to stay at the same point where it wuz before i took it off.
if you are near the NY area,..i can help yea out...I must've done them about 3-4times in and out...because i had to replace them once because one needle lost connection to LED...etc.
let me kNow.

Thanks to all
Got this squared away a while back but thanks to all who responded. I wound up playing with the needles with the gauge cluster hanging out in the open.
Got my needles straight after a few minutes of doing the above.
