I just ordered a set of JDM gauges that came out of an ST202 in Japan. They plug up fine and i get a red light for the door, however, when i crank the car up only the Fuel and Temperature gauge move. can anyone help me here?

Cuz JDM gauge is HOTNESS
  Yup, it's not plug and play, I pull the needles out, ripped the face off (they're attached by double sided tape), and swapped'em over to my USDM one. But before you start ripping stuff out, you'll need to do some measuring for the RPM needle. Drive around at 5MPH, 60MPH, and umm... 80MPH and write down the RPM reading on each speed. After you swapped over the face plate, you need to drive at exact 5MPH while trying to snap the RPM needle back in pointing at the exact rev that you wrote down earlier. (Don't sue me if you crash) Afterward, go drive around at different speeds and double check your RPM reading is same as whatever you wrote down. For gas and temp, just put'em back where they were pointing to. For odometer, start your car and aim your needle to zero. That's what you do, if you do it the ghetto way.
