took my guage cluster apart earlier to put the blue tint in and i ended up taking the needles off, why i dont know but anyhow put it all back together and now all my needles are way off. tach dont even register anything till i rev it up. oil pressure is way up and so is volts. is there a way to reset everything somehow? maybe unhook the battery for awhile?

I would disconnect the Negative terminal and let it sit for 10 mins. Try that an see if that works.

i tried to put the needles all back in the same place but apparently i didnt get them in right :l any suggestions on what to do? maybe pull all the needles off and try to get them as close as possible?

You probably pushed the needles down too hard, and they're sticking. Try taking the needles off and reinstalling them, but don't push down very hard.
