if you are going to use the stock bulbs, you need to find like a neon bright paint or something that would be like the orange you are replacing

When you put the needle on..have the car running and then simply put to 0..if it goes down..remove teh needle and put to 5.. keep going until it'* accurate
And next time..keep the hands off the tough to do stuff

bill, this doesn't work since the needle self balances at a certain point...it'* hard to explain...but yours suggestion won't work. andrew, i'll try what you said...we'll see what happens. if i crash...then i guess my problems are solved
