Hey Zinc,
I've never done reverse glows before but, i bought the little led kit to light your needles up like 5 years ago with a different car, and had to 'pop the needles off', for that, they do come off but - as with anytime you're pulling on something plastic, be gentle - you can tell if it's going to break, if it is - stop. if all else fails, go to the ford dealership, and say you want to TALK to someone in the service department, or - go back there and find someone - i've always had good luck with just asking them something straight out, tell them you're trying to take your needles off, and ask how it works, i've had them hop in my car and do it for me if it was something really easy, no charge obviously - some techs are damn decent people, and they know how most of the car comes apart anyway
.
Also, in response to your other post, I wasn't trying to chastise you for multiple threads, it' good to ask - just, try to stick as many as you can in the same thread, instead of making a whole bunch of new ones, but it's understandable that the questions come at different times. Good luck with your gauges.
