overlays sitting around...i figured it out!
 
So i got some extra ones sitting and i was bored so i thought i would try it again and guess what i figured it out. Sorry for the bad pics, used iphone!

Anyway, to do it without removing the needes, you will need to do the following:

- move the needles to 12 noon position
- insert the overlay at an angle and make the top side of the overlay hole sit underneath the center needle and then do the bottom part and it should slide right under.

super easy and would enhance the look of your cluster.

great job...looks good pare!

i also had problems with my angel eyes and for the life of me, i couldn't get those darn bulbs out when i bought the replacement...so i gave up and a couple weeks later, i tried again and i was able to do it without a hitch.

sometimes when we want to do something so bad, it just won't work but let it sit around for awhile and try again and voila...

Nice! I did mine recently too - I see you marker'd your needles - I did that as well. Unfortunately marker i had was too think so i skipped the mpg because it would only do half of it white, when i get a thinner marker i'll finish it off lol

Bimmer360 05-02-2008 11:26 AM
