Default Got my Simco Gauges. Have a question

Are the guage needles supposed to move like freely like that? When I tilt the cluster it causes the needles to move. They move slowly. Is that normal?

Yes...After the install they work normally...when You routes the little red cable that it says to do inbetween the back and the circuit board...route it through the little hole in the board and on the outside...It won't touch anything I just did it so it's not smashed at all.

Thanks for the tip. I'll be installing them tomorrow. Wish me luck. I installed my MGW shifter myself. This shouldn't be too hard right?

Well I finshed the install. Looks really nice. Everything works good and the gauges are right on the money. I'll have to wait till its night to check out the glow.

They glow a blueish green...if it's real dark than they look very blue...if it's almost dark then they look greenish.

They are the same gauges...they look green in the 2nd one for some reason, but the real color is closer to the 3rd pic.

Mine look green to me. I like it because it looks digital. Almost looks like the gauges in a Mercedes CLK-GTR.
