Well since you "FOOKED" it all up you may just want to purchase a new or used gauge cluster

Well if its anything like the gauges on my ex's neon. When I changed them the speedo, temp, fuel and all didnt work right. I ended up having to let the car run for a few minutes and get to normal temp with the cluster on but the clear cover off. I then took the needles off and adjusted them to where the norm should be with the temp gauge and fuel where it was when we turned the car off before the install. As far as the speedo I ended up driving it down the road and got someone to tell me when we were goin a certain speed and adjusted the speedo needle the same way. Takes a lil playing around with but it works. The speedo is only like 4mph over so its not bad. I think some places can recalibrate it for you but you will have to call and ask. Try this first and then if all else fails and nobody can recalibrate it for you then you will have to get a new cluster and say bye bye to the gauge overlays unless you can find someone to do it that knows how to install them properly. Good luck.
