Exclamation Needles and Holes!!!

I have two issues, First three of my four white needles(Speedo, tach, and feul) are fading in my dash. I know this has been discussed before, but i would like definate answer as to the problem or a link to it.

Secondly I removed the stock sub and I have a hole and a hanging rear taillight. I would like to do something with the taillight especially, because of a constant warning light. Also whats a good way to fix my hole from the sub. Thank you n adavance, any help would be helpful.

You have two options. You can either put the cover back over
the hole with out the subwoofer (what I have done). This gives
the stock look, but does not allow as much air flow for subs in
the trunk. Your second option is to take the wire, attach the light
and tuck it down inside the whole. The light will still work over
there, and remove the warning off the dash. Hope this helps.

rajah, thanks for the tips, but my sub moves so much air when i put the cover back on from the stock sub it rattles against the back window.

Hey,
I totally understand your problem. I am having the same problem right now.
My stereo shop has suggested I tuck the third light under the deck. To cover
the whole, they are getting some blue carpet to match my interior. They will
just put one big piece, covering the hole, allowing airflow, but looks clean.
Also, the carpet is very thin, so it allows air to flow thru without much
restriction.
Hope this helps
