I'm trying to do a couple of things and I am at information overload. I have searched these threads and now I'm just blank.
1) I attempted a DIY pixel repair on the MID and the Instrument Cluster. The MID was successful, but the cluster was not happening. I believe when removing the old ribbon cable, most of the pads came off with it. But my bigger problem is when I tried to drill I was in the wrong spot and didn't want to chance it anymore, so I removed the needles. After trying the pixels several times and still to no avail (hubby joined in by this time bc he felt sorry for me trying so hard), but we could not see the pads at all to line them up- it looks just as it did before, I put everything back together, but now my gauges are off and a couple will barely move (not like they should (the gas & temperature gauge). Did I ruin the motors? Is there a way to calibrate them? Will removing them again and cranking the car from cold, then replacing them help? If not who can fix them? I realize I will have to send them out to get pixels repaired anyway, but which company? Is my cluster ruined? Any suggestions?
2) I want to add Angel Eyes/ Halos to my existing xenon lights, me X is a 2003 so I realize they cannot be baked so I will dremel them. Can anyone direct me to a good set of eyes that are easy to put in like a simple plug and play? And what type of sealer should I use when putting them back together? Should I change anymore bulbs?
The only other thing I'm waiting for is my skid plate and I will be a happy camper. I have been dreaming about this stuff seriously, can't even sleep. Please and thank you in advance for taking your time to help.
