Default Gauges Help

Hey I took my instrument panel out to replace the bulbs with red leds. I never turned the key over to get all gauges to zero. I just took it out where they were when i shut the car off. My question is how do i get my gauges back to an accurate reading do I just set them where they were or turn them to zero (minus the fuel gauge) thanks.

Did you pull the needles off? As long as you didn't pull the needles off, you should be just fine. Everything will reset to it's proper reading.

I'd leave them alone. I am 99.9% sure they will "reset" appropriately when you first fire the car back up. I can say with 100% certainly they they will be jacked up if you try to adjust the needles now.
