Sounds like you pushed the needles on too far so they are now dragging against the gauge face.

Make sure that you didn't pust the needles in too far or they will hit the overlay.

Edit: Swartlkk beat me to it.

if i did go the KPH route would i see shadowing seeing as how the original cluster would look diff. ?

thanks.

Sorry to re3vive an old thread but did you get the tach to work right since yours was 6k and you put in the 7k?

Mine just had the power wires and came with its own dimmer switch and control box. I just wired the power wires into the headlight switch signal. Leave the bulbs in the gauges, they light up the needles. If you decide not to use the stock bulbs, you can always dim them.

Well, I'm interested in doing this... But the photos in the how-to section aren't there anymore.

The photos don't really show a whole lot of vital info required for this. If this is something you wish to do, read through the word instructions as you are actually looking at the parts to get a better understanding of what he means.
