    Excuse my language but I am FUCKED. Last night I attempted this. I've got the rpm needle and background done, as well as the speed background. I've soldiered all the other LEDs and they won't light up! Not to mention I broke two of my needles last night. Could someone please help me out?!

    You not fucked... Okay sounds like you have a bad solder. On the rpm if one solder on the background is bad then those three will not work. It's a circuit. Same with the needles. Did you use a soldering sucker to remove the old solder?

    Now how did you break the needles? Do you mean they won't line up right anymore.

    did you place the leds the right way??

    they have a + (pos) - (neg) polarities that need to be correctly soldering in
    the last cluster i fixed, the member had alot of his leds backwards which caused it not to work


    and i didnt find the link for the needles :( sorry..

    ps: arent you the dude thats following me on instagram?? you should have hit me up sooner

    It's not 100% but more than likely. I didn't want to make it an issue till it's for sure. Sorry I didn't let you know.

    Do the 2011-2012 gauges (with white bands) have more or different LEDs inside to let more light through?
