Default Help, I think i stuffed my gauges!

or alternatively titled 'the adventures of an amateur auto electrician'

I've been browsing a few US focus boards researching how to change the colour of the gauge lights. I've got that figured out but i'm open to any suggestions anybody here has.

My problem is that my speedo now reads about 20K's under. while i was having a stickybeak the speedo needle (by force of gravity) swung around past the 220 mark. when i spotted this i pushed it gently back to its little rest pin.

After i put it all back together and started the car, when the gauges did their sweep, the speedo stopped at about 200 before returning, rather than going all the way around.

Have i buggered them up or is it a simple fix.

I was toying with the idea of getting hold of another gauge cluster anyway to do the light mod so i don't run the risk of stuffing my gauges (anymore that i may have already)

any help will be appreciated
