well somethings not right...Gauges

So i put in some black cat leds today. i had everything lined up fine when i put everything back together and i turn my car off after a test drive. I go back in it after a few minutes for another one i turn my car on and its all sorts of messed up.





idk how to fix this. since i figure if i line the needles up again its just going to happen again.
Will my dealer fix it?

yea make sure you dont push the needles on too far, as they could catch on the face. having the car running while you put them in helped for me too, so you can set the speedo at 0, the gas at w/e (i did it to full tank) and set rpms around 800 or w/e it is.

ALSO, when you take them off, make sure u counterclockwise turn them off a few rounds then pull off while still turning to avoid damage.
and fyi, my needles sit down like the speed and rpms when the car is off
