    Hey, i tired changing the color of my wrx gauge to red, but when i finished the only gauge that worked was the tach( i think , not sure about the fuel or temp). the spedometer didnt move at all. i tired taking it out again and pushing down the niddles and then pushing the clips back in further, but it still didnt work. any one have any suggestions on what to do?

    i say take it apart one more time and try messing with the gauge, if it doesnt work, it might be time for a new cluster.

    sounds like the needle is now broke. it happens to many people when installing new gauge face overlays. unfortunantly for you, i believe the only way to go now is replacement

    Only $175? That's awesome!

    And yes, it sounds like something is broken. Take it all apart again and carefull put it back together. If there's no luck, then you're out of luck :(

    u have the same problem but mine is just the temp gauge cause i didn't break any needles of the other ones lol.. but still one u take them out and out them back in, u already pushed the needle towards a little left then u cant see when u put the needle back on so u already smashed the needles down.. my options were get a new cluster or get a oil pressure gauge and a digital coumputer gauge connected to my lap top(still dunno how this will work) my temp gauge is not working and someday i will forget the oil bolt when i do my own oil change will i started last week and u know what happen when ur temp gauge is not working.. so get yur self a new cluster or a expert fixer...
