maybe the new face is touching the needle somewhere or it has nothing to do with the face..

well do the math... it worked b4 w/ the stock face... doesnt work now with the new face... ITS THE FACE haha.. basically just double check the install make sure its right (NOT SAYING U DID IT WRONG) but mistakes DO happen haha.


Althought then again whats the problem, if it works to 50 then u should be set, most city limits are 30. Unless ur street racing.... which nobody on this site does :roll:.... bc thats illegal... and CC doesnt condone illegality.





OH, haha yea oops forgot about the sig. just dont look at

Well at least it makes it look like you're going faster if it jumps real quick...=)

But seriously though...did you change just the face of the gauges or the entire gauge cluster (new speedo, tach, etc..)?

I put reverse glow gauges in my cluster, you have to be careful when you install them because the wiring coming off the speedo will raise the face towards the needle and might cause it to touch.

You saying that it happens around 50 is about right because (at least on MY glow gauges) thats where the wiring comes from.


Pull out the cluster and cut the plastic on the cluster to make room for the wires coming off the gauges and you should be fine.

Yeah, mine are starting to do that too around the 0-20 range but it's fine. I'm usually between 50-80 anyway so no worries

I got mine on ebay and installed them myself.

Its not too hard, to pull out the cluster its just screws and clips.

And what do you mean by crack?

I just bought some off of ebay as well. Any instructions on how to properly connect the wiring? I want mine to work with the stock wires when illuminating.
