I think hot glue would work better... I'm going to take a crack at this. 90% of my bulbs are out so anything is better than this... next step would be to get some new needles, lol

I may have to give these a try since some of my bulbs burnt out. I also have to replace my temp and speedo needle since it doesn't light up anymore. ANybody know where I can find those needles. I was going to send them to Lextech but really don't want ot spend that kind of money right now for led needles.
