Just feel how fast you're going from now on... anyways, can't help. sorry.

When they are off, you need to push them gently down to the bottom of their arc. They should come back on in the correct position.

Be careful, I'm not liable if you mess it up...

Exactly. I wanted to try the xB gauge color conversion on the tC. Short story, it didn't work. I wanted to go from amber to red, but all I got was an orange color.

Anyway, I did not put the needles on all the way down and I noticed that there was a significant lag to the needle movement the next time I drove the car. I pulled out the needles again and made sure to push it firmly down. That fixed the problem.

Be sure that when you are placing the needles back, you place them so that the bump stop is at the very beginning of the gauge. If you don't do that correctly, the gauge will be off by some amount.
