for the 99 mazda, the guages can't get around the needles actually the hole is too small those anyone know how to put this in?//

 

You would have to remove each and every one of the needles in order to put on the gauges...
Unfortunately, No company makes Indiglo gauges for the protege which does not require you to remove the needles. If you plan to install them, i suggest you think twice about it, cuz the needles are very sensitive, and breaking one would be a BiTch cuz you'd have to replace the whole Cluster gauge with your own money!! Trust me, I don't think you would wanna risk it! I know because i've had to replace my gauge cluster three times! Luckily, the first time i broke the needle, the cluster was replaced under warranty, i dont know hoW but i'm not complaining! hehe , and the second time, the place that i brought my car to get the indiglo's installed, ended up breaking the same needle, and had to pay from their own pocket! sO , once again, think twice about putting it iN!

on the focus, u can push the little black thing in before u start the car, such that when the car starts the odometer can be an electronic tach/speedometer which allows u to put the neeles back on pretty easily, can the protege do that

 

hMm. I wish the proteges were able to do that... woulda saved me a lot!

 

Doesn't look like the people that made those guages tested them at all. That's just cheap.

 

leon sent you a private message on those guages, but i am giving this advice to everyone else.

most of us with the 3rd get know. DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE YOUR NEEDLES!!!!

i can't stress that enough. you got an extra 250 bucks...go for it. but i would just listen up.

to put the guages in, you have to cut the guages. then slip them over the needles. leon and i are both missing temp and gas guages because of this error. just some words of advice.
